Answer:
15 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of your father = x
Then, yours age = (2x/5) + 1
Sum of yours age and father's age = 50
So, According to question,
x + (2x/5) + 1 = 50
x + (2x/5) = 50 - 1
x + 2x/5 = 49
5x + 2x = 49 × 5
7x = 245
x = 35
Thus, the father's age = 35 years
Yours age = (2x/5) + 1
Yours age = (2(35)/5) + 1
Yours age = 15
Hence, yours age = 15 years
