Question

A man is 4 times as old as his son after 16 years he willl be twice as hold his son fend their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Son's Present age = 8 years.

Father's present age = 32 years.

Explanation :

Let the present age of son be x years.

Then, the Father's age = 4x years.

After 16 years,

Son's age = ( x + 16) years.

Father's age = ( 4x + 16 ) years

According to the question,

2( x + 16 ) = ( 4x + 16 )

2x + 32 = 4x + 16

16 = 2x

x = 8

Son's Present age = 8 years.

Father's present age = 4x = 4*8 = 32 years.
