Question

How old are we now !
8. A father is six times as old as his son. After
four years, he will be only four times as old as
his son will be. What are their present ages ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Son's age = 6 years.

Father's age = 36 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son's present age be x years.

Then, Father's age= 6x

According to the question,After four years, son's age will be =( X + 4) years

And, father's age will be= 4(X+4)years

But according to the question, father's age will be= 6x+4 years

Then, 6x+4 = 4(X+4)

6x+4 = 4x+ 16

6x-4x= 16-4

2x = 12

x= 12/2= 6 .

So, son's age is 6 years.

Then Father's age = 6x= 6×6= 36 years.
