Question

The present age of Sham's mother is four times the present age of Sham. If the present age of Sham is x years then find the age of his mother​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sham age = X

Sham's mother age = X×4

Answer 2

Answer:

Shyam's son age = x/4 years (since, shyam is 4 times his son's age)

Five years ago,

Shyam age = x-5 and his son's age = (x/4)-5

B.T.P

x-5= 9*{(x/4)-5}

or, x-5 = 9x/4- 45

or, x-5+45= 9x/4

or, 4(x+40)=9x

or, 4x +160= 9x

or, 4x-9x=-160

or, -5x=-160

or, x= -160/-5

or, x= 32

Ans: The present age of Shyam is 32 years.
