Question

father is 5 times as old as his son today. the age of father at the birth of his son was 36 years. find their today's ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The boy's age five years ago was 13.

From the question, it says father was of his son's current age at the time of his birth. Father's current age is 36. So, current age of the son should be 18. As 18 years ago, at the time of the son's birth, father's age would have been 18 which is same as the current age of the son.

Now that we've calculated the son's current age to be 18, five years ago it would've been 13.
