Answer :
Let Shobo’s present age is x years.
Thus, his mother’s present age will be 6x years.
After 5 Years:
Shobo's Age = x + 5 years
Given,
Shobo’s age five years from now will be one third of his mother’s present age
⇒ 3(x + 5) = 6x
⇒ 3x + 15 = 6x
⇒ 15 = 6x – 3x
⇒ 3x = 15
⇒ x = 5
Hence, Age of Shobo = x= 5 years
Age of his mother = 6x = 6(5) = 30 years
