    Explanation

    Let at present, Woman's age be x and her son's age be y Then, A/Q, x=30y ................................................. (1) 18 years later, Woman's age = x+18 her son's age= y+18 Now, A/Q, x+18=3*(y+18) or, x+18=3y+54 or, x-3y=54-18 or, x-3y= 36 or, 30y - 3y = 36 [From eq (1)] or, 27y = 36 or, y = 36/27 = 12/9 = 4/3 So, y= 4/3 Then, x= 30*4/3 = 40 years
