Show Answer
Correct Answer: 95. (2)
Solution: 95. (2) Quantity I :
Son’s age $=x$ years (let)
$\therefore$ Father’s age $=3 x$ years
5 years ago,
$x-5=\frac{1}{5}(3 x-5)$
$\Rightarrow 5 x-25=3 x-5$
$\Rightarrow 5 x-3 x=25-5$
$\Rightarrow 2 x=20 \Rightarrow x=10$
$\therefore$ Father’s age $=30$ years
$\therefore$ Mother’s age $=30-5$
$=25$ years
Clearly,
quantity I < quantity II
