Is the data correct ? Pls check.

if age of meena at marriage was x years, then
x*8/3 -x=6
x= 6*3/5 = 18/5 yrs
her present age = (8/3)*(18/5)= 48/5 yrs
son's age = (48/5)*(1/6)= 8/5 yrs


If meena was married 60 years ago, then their present ages will be 96 yrs and 16 yrs.

Pls check data.

Let the meena's present age be x years.
so According to the given condition
x = 8/3*(x-6)
Present age(x) = 8/3 times of meena's marrriage age(x-6)
solving above equation
x = 48/5 years(Her present age)
Her son's age = (1/6)*(48/5) = 8/5 years
