Question

A mother is 24yr older than her son after 4years the age of the mother will be three times the age of son. Find the present age of mother and son

Answer 1

Answer :

Let the age of the mother be ' x '

So according to question age of son will be " x - 24 "

After 4 Years ...

Age of mother will be " x + 4 "

And age if son will be " ( x - 24 ) * 3 "

According to question ,

x + 4 = ( x - 24 ) * 3

x + 4 = 3x - 72

2x = 76

x = 38

Age of the mother is 38

Age of the son is 38 - 24 = 14
