|
Answer» Let present age of son be X years. and mother be = (X+25) yrs. After 8 years age of son= (X+8) yrs. and mother's = (X+25+8) = (X+33) yrs. Now ; ⇒ 9 ( X + 8 ) = 4 ( X + 33 ) ⇒ 9X + 72 = 4X + 132 ⇒ 9X - 4X = 132 - 72 ⇒ 5X = 60 ∴ X = 60/5 ⇒∴ X = 12 yrs. ∴ Present age of son = X = 12 Years. And mother = X + 25 = 12 + 25 = 37 years. |
