Answer 1

30 years

Explanation:

Forming Algebraic expressions and solving them to find the age.

Ratio of age of mother and daughter = 5 : 3

Age of mother = 5x

Age of daughter = 3x

It is given that mother's age is 50 years.

⇒ 5x = 50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 50÷5

x = 10

Daughter's age = 3x

= 3*10

= 30 years
