The sum of the ages of mother and her daughter is 50 year. Also 5 year ago, the mother's age was 7 times the age of the

Answer 1

after 5 years both age become 5 years more so 50+5+5=60

7x+ x= 60

x= 60/8=7.5

7x= 7.5×7=52.5

present age = 2.5 and 47.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of daughter be x years.

Then, the age of mother will be (50 - x) years.

According to Question now,

➳ 7(x - 5) = 50 - x - 5

➳ 7x - 35 = 45 - x

➳ 7x + x = 45 + 35

➳ 8x = 80

➳ x = 10 years

Therefore,

Present Age of daughter = x = 10 years

Present Age of mother = 50 - x = 40 years.
