Answer:

Let the age of A = \(A\), B = \(B\) and C = \(C\)

From given,

\(A = 3B\)

4 years ago,

\(A + 4 = 31\)

\(\Rightarrow A=27\)

sub in above \(B\) , we get \(B\)  = 9 

\(C = 2(27 - 4) + 4 = 46 + 4 = 50 \)

Hence B = 9years and C = 50years.

Let the age of the youngest child is '\(x \)' years.
Then the child elder than the yongest is '\(x + 3\)' yrs
Since each have 3yrs difference upto 5 children
And given that,

\(\Rightarrow x +x +3 + x+6 +x+9 + x+12 = 50\)

\(\Rightarrow 5x+30=50\)

\(\Rightarrow x= 4\) years.

Answer:

Let Rajan's present age be '\(x \)' years.

Then his daughter's present age is =  \(\frac{x}{3}\) years.


His mother's present age = \(\frac{13x}{9}\) years.

Now, according to the question,
\(\therefore x+\frac{x}{3}+\frac{13x}{9}=125\)

\(\Rightarrow x=\)\(\frac{125*9}{25}\)\(=45\)

Therefore, required difference = \(\frac{13x}{9}-\)\(\frac{x}{3}=13x -\)\(\frac{3x}{9}=\)\(\frac{10x}{9}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{10*45}{9}\)= 50 years
