Question

man is five times as old as his son in 2 years the time he will be 4 times as old as his son find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose the man's son's present age be x years.

So, the man's present age is 5x years.

After two years:-

Man's age will be=5x+2 years and

His son's age will be=x+2 years

According to the question,

4(x+2)=5x+2

or, 4x+8=5x+2

or, 4x-5x=2-8

or,-x=-6

or,x=6

So, the son's present age is 6 years and the father's present age is 5×6=30 years
