Question

Ankit’s father is 4 times as old as Ankit. After 5 years, father will be three times as old as Ankit. What are the present ages of Ankit and his father respectively?


​

Answer 1

Answer:

let Ankit age =x

father's age. =4x

after 5 years

Ankit age=x+5

fathers age=4x+5

3(x+5)=4x+5

3x+15=4x+5

3x-4x=5-15

-x=-10

x=10

Ankit 's age =10

fathers age=3x=3×10=30
