Q:

5 years ago, the mother's age was 3 times of her son's age. 5 years hence, the ratio between the ages of mother and the son becomes 11:5. Find the mother's present age?

Answer

Let the present age's of mother be 'M' and that of her son be 'S'.


According to the given data in the question,


M - 5 = 3(S - 5)


F - 3S = -10  ...............(1)


Then given ,


M + 5 : S + 5 = 11 : 5 


=> 5M - 11S = 30 ..............(2)


 


From (1) & (2), we get


S = 20


Then by substituting S = 20 in (1) or (2), we get


M = 50.


 


Hence, the present age of mother is M = 50 years.

15% profit at remaining half plot = 600000/2 x 15/100 = Rs. 45,000
