Question

Shobos mother present age is six times shobos present age. Shobos age five years from now will be one third of his mother present age . What are their present ages

Answer 1

30 years

Explanation:

Shobo's age=x years

His mother's age= 6 times of Shobo's age= 6x years

Five years from now

Shobo's age= (x+5) years

According to the problem

x+5=1/3 of his mother's present age

x+5=6x/3

x+5=2x

5=2x-x

5=x

Therefore Shobo's present age is 5 years

His mother's age =6x

6x5=30 years
