Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Suppose 2 years ago Motu's daughter age be x years and suppose Motu's age be 3 x years.
Present age of Motu's daughter=x+2 years
Present age of Motu=3x+2 years
After 2 years,
Motu's daughter age will be x+2+2=x+4 years
Motu's age will be 3x+2+2=3x+4 years
Now given that -Two years later, Motu will be twice her age, five times her daughter's age,so if we multiply 2 from the age of Motu's daughter after 2 years, it will be equal to the age of Motu after 2 years.
ACQ,
3x+4=2(x+4)
3x+4=2x+8
x=4
Present age of Motu =3×4+2=14 years
Present age of Motu's daughter=6 years
