Question

A man is 24 year older than sun and in two year twice as age son age is

Answer 1

Answer:

the son's present age is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+2) = x + 26

2x - x = 26-4

x = 22

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let us consider the ages of man and son are x and y

the current ages of man and son are , x = 24 + y ________(1)

After the two years the ages will be

(2 + x )=2(2 + y) ______(2)

from equation (1) and (2)

( 2 + (24 + y) ) =2 (2 + y)

(26 + y) =2 (2 + y)

26 + y = 4 + 2y

26 + y = 4 + 2y

26 - 4 = 2y - y

22 = y

y = 22

x = 24 + 22

x = 46

x = 46

therefor the present ages of man and his son are 46 and 22

verification :

put the values of x and y in equation (2)

(2 + x )=2(2 + y)

(2 + 46) = 2 (2 + 22)

48 = 2 (24)

48 = 48

LHS = RHS

hence verified .
