Question

Mohit's mother is 47 years older than him. The product of their ages 8 years from now will be 860. The equation representing this situation is .

• A. $(x-8)(x+55)=860$
• B. $(x+8)(x+55)=860$
• C. $(x+8)(x-55)=860$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(x+8)(x+55)=860$

Let's take Mohit's age = $xyears$

Hence, his mother's age = $x+47$

$8$ years from now:

Mohit's age = $x+8$

Age of Mohit's mother will be = $x+47+8=x+55$

The product of their ages $8$ years from now will be $860$.

$(x+8)(x+55)=860$
