One year ago a mother was 4 times older then her son. After 6 years, her age becomes more than double her sons age by 5 years. The present ratio of their age will be

• let m be the mother's present age nd s be the son's present age
  
  (m-1) = 4(s-1)
  m = 4s - 3 -->(1)
  
  (m+6) = 2(s+6)+5
  m=2s+12+5-6
  m=2s+11 -->(2)
  
  Equate m
  4s-3=2s+11
  2s=14
  s=7
  
  m=4*7-3
  m=25
  
  Ratio to mother nd son is 25 : 7

• let mother's age = M yrs son's age = S yrs
  
  (M-1)=4(S-1)
  => M-1= 4S-4
  => M-4S=-3 -----(1)
  
  (M+6)=2(S+6)+5
  => M+6= 2S+12+5
  => M-2S=11 ------(2)
  
  (2)-(1) => S=7 , M=25
  
  S:M = 7:25
  M:S = 25:7
