Answer:
Sara's mother age : 40 years
Sara's age : 10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Sara's mother age be x
and Sara age be y
Given , Sara's mother is now four time as old as Sara
• x = 4y ...1
also, in five years , she will be three times as old as Sara
In five years , Sara's mother age :- ( x + 5 )
Sara age :- ( y + 5 )
according to the question,
x + 5 = 3 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x - 3y = 10 ... 2
putting value of x from 1 into 2
4y - 3y = 10
y = 10
putting y value in 1
x = 4y = 4 ( 10 ) = 40
So, Sara's mother age is 40years
and Sara's age is 10years .
