Solution
Given :-
- A father ages three time that his son
- 15 year ago, fathers, age was nine times that of the son,
Find :-
- Present age of Father & his son.
Explanation
Let,
- Age of Father = x years
- Age of His son = y years.
According to question
==> x = 3y
==> x - 3y = 0____________(1)
Again,
==> (x - 15) = 9 × (y - 15)
==> x - 9y = - 135 + 15
==> x - 9y = - 120___________(2)
Subtract equ(1) & equ(2)
==> -3y + 9y = 120
==> 6y = 120
==> y = 120/6
==> y = 20
keep in equ (1)
==> x - 3×20 = 0
==> x = 60
Hence
- Present Age of Father (x) = 60 years
- Present age of his son (y) = 20 years.
