Question
A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one-half of the age of his mother. How old is the mother at present?
Answer: Option C
- Let the mother’s present age be X years. Then, the person’s present age = 2X/5 years
2 X + 8 = 1 (X + 8) 2(2X + 40) = 5(X + 8) X = 40 5 2
