Question

i am five times as old as you were, when i was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',

Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)

Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",

So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]

We get 6P = 10Q,

Substitute value for Q,

6P = 10(64 - P),

Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
