5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?

A. 24 and 13 years

B. 48 and 24 years

C. 35 and 11 years

D. 33 and 15 years

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let the age of sushma be x and the age of her son is y Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1) Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2) By soving (1) & (2), we get 5y - 15 = 3y + 7 y = 11 => x = 35 Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.
