Question
The respective ages of a mother and her daughter are 45
and 9 years. In how many years will the mother be thrice as old as her daughter?Solution
Mother’s age = 45 years Daughter’s age = 9 years Let after ‘t’ years, mother’s age is thrice of her daughter. => 45 + t = 3(9 + t) => 45 + t = 27 + 3t => 2t = 18 => t = 9 yrs
