- Present age of father is twice the sum of the present age of his two children
- 20 year hence the age of the father will be the equal to the sum of the age of those two children
- Present age of the father
- Let the present age of father be "x"

- Let the present age of 2nd children be "z"
Present age of father is twice the sum of the present age of his two children
➨ x = 2(y + z) --------- (1)
➨ x + 20
➨ y + 20
➠ z + 20
Also given that , affer 20 years the age of the father will be the equal to the sum of the age of those two children
➜ y + 20 + z + 20 = x + 20
➜ y + z + 40 = x +20
➜ y + z = x + 20 - 40
➜ y + z = x - 20 ------- (2)
⟮ Putting the value of y + z from (2) to (1) ⟯
➜ x = 2(y + z)
➜ x = 2(x -20)
➜ x = 2x – 40
➜ 2x - x = 40
➨ x = 40
- Hence, father’s present age is 40 years
