Question

19. A father is 30 years older than his son. In 12 years, the man will be three times as old as his
son. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of the son be x years

Then father's age will be (x+30) years

Given after 12 years father will be three times as old as his son

Therefore,

(x+12)3=x+30+12

3x+36=x+42

3x−x=42−36

2x=6

x=3

x+30=3+30=33
