Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of father is 36 years and boy is 13 years. Now we are given that after 12 years he will be half as old as his father.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of girls = x and number of boys = 3x.

Then, 3x + x = 4x = total number of students.

Thus, to find exact value of x, the total number of students must be divisible by 4.

Answer 2

son = 12 and father =36

Step-by-step explanation:

father = x+12

son = x/3+12

(x+12)/2 = (x+36)/3

3x+36 = 2x+72

3x-2x = 72-36

x = 36

father = x = 36

son = x/3 = 36/3 =12
