The mother is 41 years old now, so 5 years ago she was 41 - 5 = 36 years old. At that time the daughter's age was half hers so the daughter was 36 / 2 = 18 years old. Now (5 years after that time) the daughter is 18 + 5 = 23 years old. In 3 years, the daughter will be 23 + 3 = 26 years old. The answer: 26.
