Question

Father's age is 3 timss his son's age four years ago he was 4 times his son's age find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Father's Age = 36

Son's Age = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose, son's age is x.

So, Father's age will be 3x (because he is 3 times son's age)... eq 1

4 years ago, Father's age was 4 times son's age.

Son's age = x - 4

Father's Age = 4 (x -4)

Also, father's age = 3x - 4

So, 3x - 4 = 4(x-4)... eq 2

3x - 4 = 4x - 16

16 - 4 = 4x - 3x

12 = x

Hence, son's age was 12 and father's age was 36.
