Mother tells he daughter, I was your present age when you were born.
The mother is 36 years age now, how old was the daughter five years back
:
Let d = daughter's age
"I was your present age when you were born. The mother is 36 years age now, "
Therefore
d = 18 (18 yrs ago mother was 18 when she was born)
18-5 = 13 yrs, daughter five years ago
