a man said to his "i was one-third of your present age when you were born".If present age present age present age of the main is 48 years, find present age of the son

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of the son be x.

When the son was born x years ago ,the father was :

1/3x.

The current age of the father is 48 years which is inclusive of x years ago.

The current age of the father can be given by :

Father = His age when the son was born + x years after the son was born

This is given by :

Father's current age = x + 1/3x = 1 1/3 x = 4/3 x

This is equal to 48.

We equate the two as follows :

4/3x = 48

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

The son is thus :

36 years old .

Answer 2

answer is son is 36 years old
