sumanta11: let present age of hari's son is x. and ha
sumanta11: let present age of hari's son is x. therefore hari age = 2x. before 20 yrs. haris son was 2x-20. & hari was x-20. therefore by given condition x-20=4(2x-20)
sumanta11: sorry mistake.
sanwad214: thanks again
sumanta11: before 20 yrs haris son age x-20. and hari s age 2x-20. by given condition 2x-20=4(x-20)
