Question -

Shobo’s mother’s present age is six times Shobo’s present age. Shobo’s age five years from now will be one third of his mother’s present age. What are their present ages?



Answer -

Let the present age of Shobo be x then age of her mother will be 6x.
Shobo’s age after 5 years = x + 5
According to the question,
(x + 5) = (1/3) × 6x
⇒ x + 5 = 2x
⇒ 2x – x = 5
⇒ x = 5
Present age of Shobo = x = 5 years
Present age of Shobo’s mother = 6x = 30 years.
