Question

Aman's age is three times his son's age.Ten years ago he was five times his son's age. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Aman's son's age be x

Aman's age will be 3x

10 yrs ago the ratio was 1:5

10 yrs ago the ages were x-10 and 3x-10

Therefore x-10/3x-10=1/5

5(x-10)=1(3x-10)

5x-50=3x-10

5x-3x=50-10

2x=40

x=20

Aman's age will be 60 and his son's age will be 20.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

amans age=3x

sons age =5x

present ages

amans =x+3

sons=x+5

as per question

2(x+3)=x+5

2x-x=5+3

x=8
