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:

Aman's age = 60

Aman's Son's age = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aman's Son's age be = x

Aman's age = 3x

10 years ago,

Aman's Son's age = x-10

Aman's age= 3x-10

A/Q

Aman's age was 5 times his Son's age

Therefore,

5(x-10) = 3x-10

5x-50 = 3x-10

5x-3x = 50-10

2x = 40

x= 20

Therefore Aman's Son's age (x = 20) and

Aman's age (3x = 3×20 = 60)

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Aman's age = 60 years

Son's age = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the son be x

Aman's age = 3x

Before ten years

Aman's age =

5(x - 10) = 3x - 10

= 5x - 50 = 3x - 10

= 5x - 3x = 50 - 10

= 2x = 40

= x = 40/2

= x = 20 years

3x = 3 × 20

= 60 years

Hence,

Aman's age = 60 years

Son's age = 20 years
