Question

if the age of father is five times the age of son if parents age of son is X year then what will be age of father after 5 years​

Answer 1

Given:

Present age

Age of father = 5 × Age of Son

3 years ago,

Age of father = 8 × Age of son

Calculation:

Let the age of father and son be F and S.

According to the question,

F = 5S ----(1)

Again according to the question,

⇒ (F - 3) = 8(S - 3) ----(2)

After equating the equation (1) and equation (2)

⇒ 5S - 3 = 8S - 24

⇒ -3S = -21

⇒ S = 7 years

From equation (1)

⇒ F = 5 × 7

⇒ F = 35 years

∴ The present age of the father is 35 years.
