Question

aix years ago ratio of fathers age to mothers age was 8: 7 . age difference between father and mothers age is 5 years find the fathers present age?​

Answer 1

6 years ago,

Let their ages be 8x and 7x respectively.

Presently,

Let their ages be (8x + 6) and (7x + 6) respectively.

Now,

(8x + 6) - (7x + 6) = 5

8x + 6 - 7x - 6 = 5

x = 5

8x + 6 = 46

So, the father's present age is 46 years.

I hope this helps.
