Question

Ashoks age is 1/6th of his father's age. the fathers age will be twice of kamals age after 10 years. if kamalas 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago. what is ashok's age

Answer 1

Let the present age of father be a

Present age of Ashok = a/6

According to first condition,

( a + 10) = 2 ( Kamal's present age + 10)

=> (a + 10) /2 - 10 = Kamal's present age

=> Kamal's present age = ( a + 10 - 20) / 2

=> Kamal's present age = ( a - 10) /2

Now,

According to second condition,

( a - 10)/2 - 2 = 8

=> ( a - 10 - 4) / 2 = 8

=> a - 14 = 16

=> a = 30

Ashok's present age = 30 /6 = 5 years

Answer 2

Answer:

6*2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

kamal's present age

= (8 + 2) years

= 10 years

Ashok's father's age

= 2(10 + 10) years

= 40 years

Ashok's age

= (16×40) years

= 20/3years

= 6*2/3
