Answer 1

Given:

• The present age of sahil's mother is three times the present age of sahil.
• After 5 years thier ages will add to 66.

To Find:

• Present ages

Solution:

• Let Sahil's age = x years
• His mother's age = 3x years

After five years,

• Sahil's age = (x + 5)
• Mother's age = (3x + 5)

According to Question:

➠ (x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 66

➠ (x + 3x) + (5 + 5) = 66

➠ 4x + 10 = 66

➠ 4x = 56

➠ x = 56/4

➠ x = 14

Now,

• Sahil's age = x = 14 years
• Mother's age = 3x = 42 years
