Answer:
Current age of son = 6 years.
Let the current age of his son be x years and Aman's current age be 6x years.
_________________________
After 6 years, Aman's age will be : 6x + 6
After 6 years, his son's age will be : x + 6
According to question:-
(6x+6) : (x+6) = 7 : 2
=> (6x + 6)/(x+6) = 7/2
=> 7(x + 6) = 2 (6x+6)
=> 7x + 42 = 12x + 12
=> 7x - 12x = 12 - 42
=> -5x = - 30
=> x = -30/-5
=> x = 6
___________________________
Current age of his son = x = 6 years.
Current age of Aman = 6x = 6×6 =36 years
