Question

The sum of age of mother and son 65 and ratio of their age is 3:2 find out their ages

Answer 1

Hola

Here is your answer

Given - Sum of ages of mother and son is 65.

The ratio of their ages is 6:5

To find - Their age.

Calculation - Let their age be 2x and 3x

so,

3x + 2x = 65

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

thus,


Mother's age - 3x = 3(13)

= 39 years.

Son's age - 2x = 3(26)

= 26 years.


Hope it helps !

Answer 2

let age of mother =x
son,s age =y
x+y =65
y=65-x
x/65-x =3/2
3(65-x) =2x
195-3x =2x
5x =195
x =39
age of mother =39 years
son,s age =65 -39=26 years
