Question

A man is 3(½) times as old as his son.of the sum of the square of their age is 1325,find the ages of the father and the son.

Answer 1

Answer:

son age=x

A man age=3(1/2)x

according to question

(x)^2+(3(1/2))^2=1325

x^2+(7/2)^2=1325

x^2+49/4=1325

x^2=1325X4/49

x^2=5408/49

(x)^2=(73.53/7)^2

x=73.53

age of son=73.53

father age=3(1/2)X73.53=514.71/2=257.355
