Question

Fatima’s father is thrice as old as Fatima. After 12 years, he will be just twice his daughter. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello buddy here's ur answer !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Fatima's age be x years.

Then, Father's age =3x

After 12 years

Fatima's age =x+12

Father's age =3x+12

A/Q

Father's age after 12 years =2(x+12)

3x+12=2(x+12)

3x+12=2x+24

Taking like terms a side

3x-2x=24-12

x=12

So,

Fatima's age=12 years

Father's age=3×12

=36 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Fatima's present age = 12 years

Father's present age = 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Fatima's present age be x.

Father's present age = 3x

After 12 years,

Fatima's age = x + 12

Father's age = 3x + 12

But it's given that father will be twice as daughter. So,

3x + 12 = 2(x + 12)

or, 3x + 12 = 2x + 24

or, 3x - 2x = 24 - 12

or, x = 12 years

daughter's present age = 12 years

Father's present age = 12*3 = 36

Hope you'll understand it.
