Answer 1

Let the present age of mother and son be M and S.

M/S =6/1

M=6S

After 10 years,

M+10/S+10 = 8/3

3M+30= 8S+80

3M-8S =50

3(6S)-8S =50

18S - 8S =50

10 S = 50

S=5 years

6 (5)=M

M=30 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Let mother's present age be 6x and sons is x

6x+10/x+10=8/3

18x+30= 8x+80

10x= 50

X=5

So,

Mother present age is 30 year

Ans sons is 5 year
