Answer

what is given here ?

it is given here that the

• man present age is 32yrs
• Son present age is 5yrs

what we have to find here ?

• we have to find the year after 4 years the father's age and the son age .

Solution

Man's present age = 32yrs

son present age = 5 yrs

after X year from now father age will be 4 time the age of son .

so according to the given question,

4(5+X)=32+X

=> 20+4x=32+X

=> 4x-x=32-20

=> 3x=12

=>X=12/3

=>X=4

now,

it means that after 4 years

• a father age will be 32+4 =36 yrs
• And the son age will be 5+4=9 yrs
