Question

the present age of sahils 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

Answer:

Sahil’s age is 14

His mother’s age is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sahil’s present age x years

His mother’s age=3x

After 5 years:

Sahil’s age=5+x.                                         His mother’s age=5+3x

                       Their sum =66

(5+x)+(5+3x)=66

4x+10=66

4x=56

X=14

Hence Sahil’s age is 14 and his mother’s age is 42.

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

$\huge\sf{\underline{\underline{Solution:}}}$

Answer:

Sahil's present age is 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of Sahil's mother is x years and that of Sahil's is y years.

Given that

x = 3y ..... (1)

After 5 years, Sahil's mother will be (x + 5) years old and Sahil will be of (y + 5) years.

Also

x + 5 + y + 5 = 66

or, x + y + 10 = 66

or, x + y = 66 - 10

or, x + y = 56

or, 3y + y = 56

or, 4y = 56

or, y = 56 / 4

or, y = 14

Then x = 3 * 14 = 42

Therefore ,

Sahil's present age is 14 years.
