Answer:

Meena's age is 5 and her fathers age is 30 years old.

Explanation:

Let's assume Meena's age to be x years old.

Meena's dads present age is 6x.

5 years from now Meena's age will be (1/3)rd of her dads age

x+5= 1/3 * 6x

x+5=2x

x=5.

Meenas present age is 5 years and her dads age is 30 years
