Question

A man is three times as old as his son in 16 years he will be only twice as old as his son find present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

A man age be 48 years and his son age be 16 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of a man and his son be x and y years respectively.Then,

x = 3y ______1

After 16 years,

a man's age be (x + 16)

his son age be (y + 16)

so, (x + 16) = 2(y + 16)

or, 3y + 16 = 2y + 32 ( form 1 )

or, 3y - 2y = 32 - 16

or, y = 16

So, x = 3 ×16 = 48 .
