Answer 2

Given :

• The age of Irfan's father is three times more than that of Irfan's.

• The sum of ages (in years) of both people is equal to the perfect square of 8.

To find :

• The age age of Irfan's =?

Step-by-step explanation :

It is Given that :

The sum of ages (in years) of both people is equal to the perfect square of 8.

So, Perfect square of 8 = 64.

Therefore, the sum of ages (in years) of both people = 64 years.

Now,

Let, the age of Irfan's be x.

Then, the age his father's be 3x.

According to the question :

➮ x + 3x = 64

➮ 4x = 64

➮ x = 64/4

➮ x = 16.

Therefore, We got the value of, x = 16.

Hence,

The age of Irfan's will be, x = 16 years.
