Question 11
A mother is five times older than her daughter. After 5 years, she would be 3 times older than her daughter. Find the mother's present age.
Solution
Let daughter's present age = $$x$$ years
=> Mother's present age = $$5x$$ years
According to ques, after 5 years,
=> $$(5x+5)=3(x+5)$$
=> $$5x+5=3x+15$$
=> $$5x-3x=15-5$$
=> $$2x=10$$
=> $$x=\frac{10}{2}=5$$
$$\therefore$$ Mother's present age = $$5\times5=25$$ years
=> Ans - (C)
