Question

the present age of Vijay's mother is four times the present age of Vijay's. After 6 years the sum of their ages will be 62 years. find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

let present age of Vijay =x years

let her mother age =y years

according to question,y=4x

after 6 years ,

Vijay age will be x+6

her mother age will be y+6

sum of their ages ,= x+6+y+6=62

x+y+12=62

x+y=50

we have y=4x put in above equation

then 4x+x=50

5x=50

x=10 and y=4(10)=40
