Question

five years ago A man was 8 times as old as his son 5 years hence the father will be thrice the age of his son find their present age​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let man's present age=x years

let his son's present age=y years

according to question

x-5=8(y-5)

x-5=8y-40

x= 8y-35 ....................... (1)

x+5 =3(y+5)

x+5=3y+15

x=3y+10 ...................... (2)

from (1) &(2)

8y-35=3y+10

5y=45

y=9

put this value in (1)

x=8×9-35

x=37

so

father's present age=37years

son's present age=9years
