Question

A man is 10 times older than his grandson. He is also 54 years older than him. Find their present ages

Answer 1

Solution:-
Let the present age of the grandson be 'x' years.
So, the age of grandfather will be = (10x) years and the grandfather is 54 years older than his grandson.
Now, according to the question.
10x - 54 = x
10x - x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 
So, the present age of grandson is 6 years and the age of grandfather is
10*6 = 60 years.
Answer.

Answer 2

Answer: Man's age = 60 yrs

Boy's age = 6 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

let boy's age be 'x'

Man's age = 10x

ATQ:

10x = 54 + x

10x - x = 54

9x = 54

x = 54/9 = 6

Hence , boy's age = 6yrs

man's age = 6 * 10 = 60yrs
