Answer 1

let fathers age be x

1/3x= mohan

sum of their ages=60

x+1/3x =60

4/3x=60

x=60/4 by 3    (4/3)

x= 60*3/4

45 is fathers age

so mohans age = 1/3*45=15

so mohans age is 15

Answer 2

Let Father age be x years.

Son's age is 1/3 of father's age. (Given)

Sum of their ages is 60.

x + 1/3 of x = 60

4/3 of x = 60

x = 60 x 3/4 = 45 years.

Father age is 45 years.

Son's age is 1/3 of 45 = 15 years.
