Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Vijaya's present age 'x' years
Then we can make the following table
Vijaya Vijaya's mother
Present age x 4x
Age after 6 years x+6 4x+6
∴ Sum of their ages after 6 years =(x+6)+(4x+6)
=x+6+4x+6
5x+12
But it is given that sum of their ages after 6 years is 62
⇒ 5x+12=62
5x=62−12
5x=50
x=
5
50
=10
Therefore Present age of Vijaya =x=10 years
Present age of Vijaya's mother =4x=4×10=40 years.
