let age of siri be x
let age of siris mother be y
3x = y --------------------------- (1)
x+5+y+5 = 66
x+y = 56 -------------------------(2)
3(56-y) = y
=> 168 - 3y = y
=> y = 42
=> x = 42/3 = 14

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 their present ages.
Assume present age of sahil be x
Present age of his mother will be 3x
after 5 years
sahil age=x+5
his mothers age =3x+5.
According to question
(x+5)+(3x+5)=66
4x+10=66
4x=56
x=14
sahil present age=14 years
his mother present age= 42 years.
