Question

4 years ago my father was five time my age then at present the sum of their ages is 50 years what is my father's present age​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of father be x

Age of son = 50 - x

Before 4 years ,

son's age = 50 - x - 4 = 46 -x

Father's age = x - 4

According to question,

( x - 4 ) = 5 ( 46 - x )

=> x - 4 = 230 - 5x

=> 6x = 234

=> x = 39

Father's age = 39 years
