8 years ago Rama's mother was five times older than her daughter. After 8 years the mother will be twice older than her daughter. Find the present age of Rama?

10 years
20/3 years
50/3 years
40/3 years

Correct Answer: 40/3 years

Explanation:

Let Rama's age 8 years ago be x years and mother's age 8 years ago be 5x 2(x+16) = 5x+16 2x+32 = 5x=16 3x = 16 x = 16/3 Hence, present age of Rama = x+8 = (16/3)+8 = 40/3 years
