Heya!
--------


↪Let age of Son be x years

↪Then age of Father 6x years


⭐Four Years Hence ,


( 6x + 4 ) = 4 ( x + 4 )


=> 6x + 4 = 4x + 16

=> 6x - 4x = 16 - 4

=> 2x = 12


=> x = 6

◼Age of Son is 6 years !

⬛Age of Father is 36 years !

Let son's age = X

Father's age = 6x

Four years later

son's age = X+4

father's age = 6x+4

According to the given question

6x+4 = 4(X+4)

6x+4 = 4x+16

6x - 4x = 16 - 4

2x = 12

X = 12/2

X = 6.

present age of son X = 6 years

present age of father 6x = 6(6) = 36 years.
