Answer 2

Answer:

Acq My age 13

Father's age 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let my age be x four years ago

So father's age will be 4x

After 4 years my age =4+x

Father's age =4+4x

total age =4+4x+4+x

8+5x

8+5x=53

5x=53-8

5x=45

x=9

My Present age =4+9=13

My father's present age 4*9+4=40 year
