Question

Shama’s age is three times the age of her son Ankit. 10 years ago Shama

was 5 times the age of Ankit. Find the present age of Shama.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let sharma age be S and Ankit age be A

S = 3a

(s-10) = 5(a-10)

substitute 1 in 2

3a-10 = 5a -50

40 = 2a

a = 20

s = 3 * 20 = 60
