The ratio of the present ages of Leela and her mother is 3 : 8. The mother was 25 years old when Leela was born. Find the mother’s present age (in years). Correct Answer 40

Let their present age be measured in terms of x.

The ratio of the present ages of Leela and her mother is 3 : 8

So, present age of Leela is 3x and that of her mother is 8x.

The mother was 25 years old when Leela was born.

According to problem:

8x – 3x = 25

⇒ 5x = 25

⇒ x = 5

So, the mother’s present age (in years) = 8x = (8 × 5) = 40 years.

Hence, ‘40’ is the correct answer.
