Answer:Age of mother is 45 and of daughter is 15.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of mother be x and age if daughter be y.

As sum of their age is 60

x+y=60.........(1)

Also,

Age of daughter is one third of age of mother

y=x/3

3y=x......(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2

We get y=15 and x =45.

HEY Buddy....!! here is ur answer

Answer : 45 years and 15 years

Given that : The sum of ages of mother and her daughter is 60 and daughter age is one third of her mother.

Let, the present age of mother = x years and age of daughter = y years

According to the question :

x + y = 60....(1) \\  \\  \frac{x}{3}  = y =  > x = 3y....(2)

On solving these equations :

On putting the value of x in equation (1)

3y + y = 60 \\  \\  =  > 4y = 60 \\  \\  =  > y = 15

So, the age daughter will be 15 years.

Now, putting the value of y in equation (1)

x = 60 - 15 \\  \\  =  > x = 45

So, the present age of mother will be 45 years.

I hope it will be helpful for you...!!
