Jane is 5 times older than her sister. in 3 years, jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age. find the ages now

The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

Solution:

Let the present age of Jane be "x"

Let the present age of her sister be "y"

Jane is 5 times older than her sister

present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)

x = 5y ---------- eqn 1

In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age

Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y

Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x

Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)

Substitute eqn 1 in above equation

Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1

x = 5(9)

x = 45

Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old
