Question

Father age is 4 times of his son and after five years fathers age will become three times of his son.Find the present age of father

Answer 1

Answer: Present age of father is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x. Then father's age will be 4x

After 5 years sons age will be (x+5) and father’s age would be (4x+5)

It is given that the father would be 3 times of the age of his son

Therefore,(4x+5)= 3(x+5)

Simplifying we have 4x-3x= 15–5= 10

Hence son’s age now is 10yrs fathere’s age is 4*x=4*10=40

After 5 yrs son's age will be 10+5=15 yrs

Father’s age= 40+5=45 which is 3 times the age of his son

Present age of father is 40 years
