✪ Question ✪
A father is 6 times as old as his daughter. After 4 years, he will only be 4 times as old as his daughter. What are their present ages?
✪ Given ✪
- A father is 6 times as old as his daughter.
- After 4 years, he will be 4 times as old as his daughter.
✪ To find ✪
Their present ages.
✪ Solution ✪
Let daughter's age be x yrs.
So, father's age = 6x yrs.
After 4 years,
Daughter's age = (x + 4) yrs
Father's age = (6x + 4) yrs
According to condition,
(6x + 4) = 4(x + 4)
↝6x + 4 = 4x + 16
↝6x - 4x = 16 - 4
↝2x = 12
↝x = 12/2
↝x = 6
✪ Hence ✪
x = 6
Daughter's present age = x yrs = 6 yrs
Father's present age = 6x yrs
= (6 × 6) yrs
= 36 yrs
✪ Therefore ✪
Their present ages are 6 years and 36 years respectively.
-------------------------------------------------------------
✪ Verification ✪
(6x + 4) = 4(x + 4)
↝(36 + 4) = 4(6 + 4)
↝40 = 24 + 16
↝40 = 40
So, L.H.S = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
