Answer 1

Answer:--------

Given:-

Let Son's age was X and father's age was Y.

According to first condition,

2X + Y = 70 ------------------------------ (1)

According to second condition,

X + 2Y = 95 ----------------------------- (2)

Solution:-

Solving Equation (1) and (2)

⇒ 2X + Y - 2X - 4Y = 70 - 190

⇒ - 3Y = - 120

⇒ Y = 40.

Putting Y value in equation (1)

⇒ 2X + Y = 70

⇒ 2X + 40 = 70

⇒ X = 15.

Son's age = 15 years.

His father's age = 40 years.
