Question

a man is five times as old as his son . after 2 years the man will be four times as old as his son ...find their present ages..

Answer 1

Suppose the man's son's present age be x years.
So, the man's present age is 5x years.
After two years:-
Man's age will be=5x+2 years and
His son's age will be=x+2 years
According to the question,
4(x+2)=5x+2
or, 4x+8=5x+2
or, 4x-5x=2-8
or,-x=-6
or,x=6
So, the son's present age is 6 years and the father's present age is 5×6=30 years
