Question

A man is 10 years older than his wife, and she is 16 years older than her son. If the son should be 25 years in 8 years time. What is present age of his father? (a) 45 years (b) 44 years (c) 43 years (d)42 year​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given after 12 years father will be three times as old as his son

Therefore,

(x+12)3=x+30+12

3x+36=x+42

3x−x=42−36

2x=6

x=3

x+30=3+30=33
