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.

Hope it's helpful
