Answer 1

Answer:

let amit's age be = x

then according to question amit's father is = 3x

as given :

x+3x = 80

4x= 80

x = 20

amit's age is 20

and that of his father is 3 *20 = 60

Answer 2

Answer:

$Let \: Amit's \: Age = x$

$Let \: Father's \: Age = 3x$

$ATQ,$

$x + 3x = 80$

$4x = 80$

$x = \frac{80}{4}$

$x = 20$

$\bold{ Amit's \: Age = x = 20 \: years}$

$\bold{ Father's \: Age = 3x = 60 \: years}$
