  • Question

  • Options
  • A. 10 years and 46 years
  • B. 12 years and 44 years
  • C. 11 years and 45 years
  • D. 13 years and 43 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 12 years and 44 years 

    Explanation

    Suppose the age of mother be P years and that of daughter's age be Q years.
    According to question P + Q = 56 .........(i)
    After 4 years, P + 4 = 3 (Q + 4) ? P + 4 = 3Q + 12 ? P ? 3Q = 8 ......(ii)
    On solving equations (i) and (ii) , we get
    Q = 12 years
    ? P = 56 ? 12 = 44 years
    Hence , the age of mother is 44 years and her daughter's age is 12 years .
