Answer 1

Answer:

60 yrs ( Answer should be this. Still I'm not sure.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Dabeer and y be his father, Agha Jameel.

Present age,

x = 1/3y

3x = y 1st eqn.

Five years ago,

x - 5 = 1/4y 2nd eqn.

Method:

x - 5 = 1/4y

Substitute the value of y.

x - 5 = 3x/4

4(x - 5) = 3x

4x - 20 = 3x

4x - 3x = 20

x = 20

Since, y = 3x

y = 3*20

y = 60

Dabeer is 20 yrs and his father, Agha Jameel is 60 yrs.

Answer 2

Answer:

since we need the age of Agha Jameel 5years from now so answer will be 45
