Answer 2

$\sf Let\: Present \:age\: of \:Veena′s \:daughter=x \:years$

$\sf Present \: age \: of \: Veena = 3x \: years$

$\sf\underline{ \red{ 10 \: years \: ago: }}$

$\sf Daughter's \: age\: was = ( x - 10 ) \: years$

$\sf Veena's \: age = ( 3x - 10 ) \: years$

According to the problem given:-

$\sf Veena's \: age = 5 \times Daughter's \: age$

$\sf \implies \blue{3x - 10 = 5 ( x - 10 )}$

$\sf \implies \red{3x - 10 = 5 x - 50}$

$\sf \implies \pink{3x - 5x = -50 + 10}$

$\sf \implies \green{- 2x = -40}$

$\sf \implies \orange{x =\dfrac{ -40}{-2}}$

$\sf \implies \purple{x = 20}$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered}\sf\blue{Present \: age \: of \: Veena's\: daughter(x)}\\ \sf \pink{ = 20\: years}\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}\sf\red{ Present \: age \: of \: Veena( 3x)}\\ \sf \purple{= 3 \times 20} \\\sf \green {= 60 \: years}\end{gathered}$
