The age of my father is equal to sum of my mother’s age and my age. When I was born, the ratio of ages of my mother and father was 5 : 6. After 8 years, the ratio of my age and my mother’s age will be 3 : 8. What was my mother’s age when I was 2 years old?

Let my age be M years and my mother’s age be N years. ⇒ Age of my father = (M + N) years When I was born, the ratio of ages of my mother and father was 5 : 6. I was born M years back. ⇒ (N - M)/(M + N - M) = 5/6 ⇒ 6N - 6M = 5N ⇒ N = 6M After 8 years, the ratio of my age and my mother’s age will be 3 : 8. ⇒ (M + 8)/(N + 8) = 3/8 ⇒ 8M + 64 = 3N + 24 Put N = 6M ⇒ 8M + 40 = 18M ⇒ M = 40/10 = 4 ⇒ N = 6M = 6 × 4 = 24 Mother’s age = 24 years ∴ I am 4 years old. When I was 2 years old, it would be 2 years back from now, my mother’s age was 22 years.Related questions
