A mother is 25 years older than her daughter. Five years ago, the age of the mother was 6 time the age of the daughter. What is the present age of mother?
-
- 25 years
- 29 years
- 32 years
- 35 years
- .
Correct Option: D
Let the present ages of mother and her daughter are ( x + 25 ) and x years respectively ; then 6( x - 5 ) = x + 25 - 5 ⇒ 6x - 30 = x + 20 ⇒ 5x = 50 ∴ x = 10
Hence, the age of the mother = 10 + 25 = 35 years
