Question

A boy's age is one-fourth that of his father After 24 years the boy will be half the age of his father. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Present:

Boy's age = x

Father's age = 4x

After 24 years:

Boy = x + 24

Father = 4x +24

But father's age is twice that of Boy now.

so, 2(x+24) = 4x +24

=> 2x + 48 = 4x +24

=> 24 = 2x

x= 24/2 = 12

so, boy = 12 years

father = 36 years
