If the ratio of Zaid and his mother’s ages is 4:7, and the difference of their ages is 33 years, what is Zaid’s age today?

Answer: 44 years
Explanation

The difference in their ages is 33 years, so:

7x - 4x = 33

3x = 33

x = 11

Now, we can find Zaid's age:

Zaid's age = 4x

= 4 × 11

= 44 years
