Answer 1

Answer:

Present age of Arun is 14 years and the present age of Arun's father is 42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Arun's father is three times as old as Arun.
• The sum of their ages is 56 years.

To find :-

• Their ages.

Solution :-

Let the present age of Arun be x years.

★ Arun's father is three times as old as Arun.

Then,

• Age of Arun's father = 3x years

★ The sum of their ages is 56 years.

According to the question,

3x + x = 56

→ 4x = 56

→ x = 56/4

→ x = 14

• Present age of Arun = 14 years
• Present age of Arun's father= 3×14 = 42 years.

Verification :-

• Arun's present age = 14 years
• Arun's father's present age = 42 years

The sum of their ages = 56

→ (42+14) = 56

→ 56 = 56

Hence Verified !
