Question

Amit's present age is 5/4 of his age at time of his sister's marriage. if his sister's marriage happened 5 years ago and his father's age was twice of amit's age at that time, then what is his father's present age (in years)?

Answer 1

Hey.

Let Amit's age at the time of marriage of his sister be x .

So his present age will be 5x/4.

Also, Amit's age 5 yrs ago = x

so present age will be 5 + x

According to question,

5x/4 = 5 + x

or 5x = 20 + 4x

or, x = 20

His father's age at the time of marriage = 2 x

so, present age of his father = 2x + 5

= 2×20 + 5 = 45 yrs.

Thanks.
