Question

Meena’s father’s present age is six times Meena’s age. Five years from now she will be one-third of her father’s present age. What are their present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:

Meena age = 5 yrs Meenas father = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

meena's age = x

meena's father's age = 6x

Five years from now

meena's age will be 1/3(6x)

meena's father's age will be 6x+5

A/Q

x+5+6x+5=2x+6x+5

=x+6x-2x-6x=5-5-5

= -x =-5

= x =5

meena's age = 5

meena's father's age = 6x

= 6×5

= 30
