Answer 1

Answer:

It is very hard I think none of these

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the age of son and daughter 5 years ago as 12k and 11k. Let the Father's age be f and mother's age be m.

four years ago father's age is = f-4

present age of son = 12k+5

present age of daughter = 11k+5

Now they have given

f-4=12k+5+11k+5

f-4=23k+10

f=23k+14-----(3)

mother is 12 years younger to father (Ramesh)

f=m+12 -------(1)

Also mother is twice the age of daughter 3 years ago

m=2(11k+5-3)

m=22k+4

substituting in (1)

f=22k+16 -----(2)

from (2) and (3)

22k+16 = 23k+14

k=2

f=60 years
