Question

A father is three times old as his son . The sum of their ages is 52 years . Find the ages of son and his father

Answer 1

Let age of son=A,

then Father's age=3A,

Now according to the question, we have

3A+A=52,

4A=52

A=52/4=13,

Therefore

Son's age = 13 yrs,

Father's age=3×13=39 yrs

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of father = 3x

let the age of son =x

according to the question (A.T.Q)

3x+x=52

4x=52

x=52÷4

x=13

the age of father =3×13= 39

the age of son = 13
