    Solution

    ATQ,

    3 years ago, let the age of Ravi = 3x years So, 3 years ago, age of RaviтАЩs sister = (4/3) ├Ч 3x = 4x years 3 years hence from now, age of Ravi = (3x + 6) years 3 years hence from now, age of RaviтАЩs mother = (3x + 6) ├Ч (5/2) = (15x + 30)/2 years 9 years hence from now, age of RaviтАЩs sister = (4x + 12) years 9 years hence from now, age of RaviтАЩs mother = (15x + 30)/2 + 6 = (15x + 42)/2 years ATQ; 4x + 12 = (15x + 42)/2 ├Ч (3/5) Or, 4x + 12 = {(45x + 126)/10} Or, 40x + 120 = 45x + 126 Or, 5x = 6 Or, x = 6 So, present age of RaviтАЩs mother = (15x + 30)/2 тАУ 3 = (90 + 30)/2 тАУ 3 = 60 тАУ 3 = 57 years
