Question

Rakhi's mother is four times as old as Rakhi. After 5 years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be then. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Let the age of Rakhi and Rakhi’s mother be x and 4x respectively 

According to the question

(4x + 5) = 3(x + 5)

⇒ 4x - 3x = 15 - 5

So, Rakhi' age = x = 10 Years

and Rakhi' s mother is 4x = 40 years
