Question

a son is 9 time greater than his father find the age of father?​

Answer 1

Let the present age of father and son be x and y respectively

Then as per question x+y=50

Given x=9y

substituting equation (2) in equation (1) we get

9y+y=50

10y=50

y=5

Putting value of y in eqn 2 we get x=9(5)=45

We get x=45

Then age of father is 45 years
