Question

2 years ago Ramesh was 3 times as old as his son 2 years later twice of his age will be equal to the 5 times that of his son's age find their present ages

Answer 1

let son b x yrs
2 yrs ago son = x -2
father = 3(x -2) =3x -6
2 yrs hence son = x +2
father = 3x - 6 +4 = 3x -2
a/q
2(3x - 2) =5(x+2)
6x - 4 = 5x +10
x = 14
son = 14 yrs
2yrs ago ​father =3 x 12 = 36 yrs
present age of father= 38 yrs
