Q:
5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 35 and 11 years
Explanation: Let the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)
By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35
Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.
