Solution:
Let the present age of Mira be x years.
So, her son's present age is x/30 years.
In 18 years:
- Mira's age will be: x + 18
- Her son's age will be: (x/30) + 18
According to the question:
x + 18 = 3 × ((x/30) + 18)
⇒ x + 18 = (3x/30) + 54
⇒ x + 18 = x/10 + 54
Multiplying both sides by 10 to eliminate the fraction:
⇒ 10x + 180 = x + 540
Now, solving for x:
⇒ 10x - x = 540 - 180
⇒ 9x = 360
⇒ x = 360/9
⇒ x = 40
Conclusion: The present age of Mira is 40 years.
