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 age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

solution:-

let the present age of Aman's son be x years

Therefore, Aman’s age = 3x years.

According to question,

$3x - 10 = 5(x - 10) \\ ⇒3x - 10 = 5x - 50 \\ ⇒3x - 5x = - 50 + 10 \\ ⇒ - 2x = - 40 \\ ⇒x = \frac{ - 40}{ - 2} \\ ⇒x = 20$

Hence, Aman’s son’s age = 20 years

And Aman’s age = 3 x 20 = 60 years.
