Question

a man is thrice as old as his son . Three years ago the man was four times as old as his son. Find their present ages. 

Answer 1

Answer:

father=27,son=9

Step-by-step explanation:

let the son's age be x,then father's age =3x

3 years ago,son's age was x-3 and father's age was 3x-3

ATP,

         3x-3=4(x-3)

    => 3x-3=4x-12

    => x=9

so son's age is 9 and father's age is 3x=3x9=27
