Question

Gagan's Father's present age is 6 times Gagan's present age. Gagan's age five years from now will be one-third of his father's present age. What are their present ages ?
[plz give full explaination}

Answer 1

Answer:

let gagan's age be x

so , his father's age will be 6x as given in the question,

now, x+5=1/3(6x) ,as it is given that "gagan's age five years from now will be one third of his father's present age"

so, the equation formed is x+5=1/3(6x)

now, let's solve it

x+5=1/3(6x)

x. =6x/3-5

x. =2x-5

x-2x= -5

-x. = -5

now, - will be canceled by -, and the answer will be,

x=5

hope it helps!❤
