Q23 of 90 Page 111

Rakhi's mother is four times as old as Rakhi. After 5 years, her mother will be three times as old as she will be then. Find their present ages.

Let the age of Rakhi and Rakhi’s mother be x and 4x respectively


According to the question


(4x + 5) = 3(x + 5)


⇒ 4x - 3x = 15 - 5


So, Rakhi' age = x = 10 Years


and Rakhi' s mother is 4x = 40 years
