Q:

Sony is one-fifth the age of her mother 15 years ago and Sony’s brother is three-fifth the age of his mother 10 years ago. If the sum of Sony and her brother’s ages is 31 then how old is Sony's mother ? 

A) 40 B) 50
C) 60 D) 70
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

Sony and her brother's age sum is 31
Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'.
Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is
1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31
x-15 + 3x-30 = 155
4x-45 = 155
4x = 200
x = 50
So, Mother's age = 50.

Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 7
10 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24

Sum = 24 + 7 = 31.
