Question

Father is four times the age of his daughter. If after 5 years, he would be three times of daughter's age, then further after 5 years, how many times he would be of his daughter's age

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the age of daughter is x

then, father's age is 4x

(x+5)=(4x+5)

3×x+5 = 4x+5

3x+5 = 4x + 5

x = 0

Answer 2

Let the daughter's age be x and father's age be 4x.

So as per question, 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5). So x = 10.

Hence present age of daughter is 10 years and present age of father is 40 years.

So after 5 + 5 = 10 years, daughter age would be 20 years and father’s age would be 50 years.

Hence father would be 50/20 = 2.5 times of daughter’s age.
