Explanation: Let the current age of father and mother be ‘x’ yrs and ‘y’ yrs respectively. Then son’s present age =(𝑥−28)𝑦𝑟𝑠 Then daughter’s present age= (𝑦−26)𝑦𝑟𝑠 Atq (𝑥+ 𝑦+ 𝑥−28 + 𝑦−26) = 130 (𝑥+ 𝑦) = 92 … . . (𝑖) Again after 3 yrs (𝑥+ 3 + 𝑦+ 3 + 𝑥−25) = 123 (2𝑥+ 𝑦) = 142 … . (𝑖𝑖) On solving the above equation we get 𝑦= 42 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠. Mother’s present age= 42 𝑦𝑟𝑠. www.teachersadda.co.in | www.sscadda.com | www.bankersadda.com | www.adda247.com
