Question

A father is twice as old as his son. Sum of their ages is 75 years. Find the age of father?

Answer 1

Hey sup!

Let's first of all assume the son's age as x.

So,
Father's age will be 2x i.e. twice as old as the son

Given that,

Sum of their ages = 75 years

So,

x + 2x = 75
3x = 75
x = 75/3
x = 25

Hence,
Son's age = x = 25 years
Father's age = 2x = 2 * 25 = 50 years
