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

Answer 1

let the present age of Sahil be x,sahil's mother age be 3x.5years later sahil's age is x+5,sahil's mother's age is 3x+5.sum if 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
