Question

The present age of Sahil’s mother is three times the present age of Sahil.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Sahil's mother = 42 years
• Sahil = 14 years$.$

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let the age of Sahil's mother be x and the age of Sahil be y. Then according to question.

• Sahil's mother age = 3(Sahil's age)

➛ x = 3y -----------(1)

And according to second condition,

• Sahil's mother age + 5 + Sahil's age + 5 = 66

➛ x + 5 + y + 5 = 66

➛ x + y + 10 = 66

➛ x + y = 56 ----------(2)

Now substituting x = 3y in equation (2)

➛ 3y + y = 56

➛ 4y = 56

➛ y = 14

Then,

➛ x = 3(14) = 42

Hence:-

• Present age of Sahil's mother is 42 years and Present age of Sahil is 14 years.
