Question

The present age of Sahil’s mother is three times the present age of Sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. Find the present age of Sahil.

Answer 1

Let the present age of Sahil be x, sahil's mother age be 3x.

5 years later sahil's age is x+5,sahil's mother's age is 3x+5.

Sum of their ages after 5years is 4x+10.

4x+10 = 66

4x = 66-10

x = 56/4

x = 14

Sahil's present age is 14 &

Sahil's mothers age is 3×14 = 42 years.

After 5 years

Sahil's age is 14+5 = 19

Sahil's mother age is 42+5 = 47

19+42 = 66years
