Question

Answer 1

Answer:

30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming Algebraic expressions and solving them to find the age.

Ratio of age of mother and daughter = 5 : 3

Age of mother = 5x

Age of daughter = 3x

It is given that mother's age is 50 years.

⇒ 5x = 50

Divide both sides by 5.

  x = 50÷5

 x = 10

Daughter's age = 3x

                          = 3*10

                         = 30 years
