Answer 2

Given

A man 3 times as old as his son . after 15 years , he will be only twice as old as his son .

To Find

Find the present ages

Solution

✭ Let the present age of son's x and the man's be 3x

According to the given condition

After 15 years

Man's age = 3x + 15

Son's age = x + 15

➳ 3x + 15 = 2(x + 15)

➳ 3x + 15 = 2x + 30

➳ 3x - 2x = 30 - 15

➳ x = 15

Hence,

Present age of Son = x = 15 years

Present age of Son = x = 15 years Present age of Man = 3x = 45 years
