Question

mohan age is 1/3 of his father age sum there age is 60 years what is the age of mohan

Answer 1

Define x:

Let the father be x years old

Mohan = 1/3 x

Form equation and solve for x:

Sum of their age is 60

x + 1/3 x = 60

4/3 x = 60

x = 60 ÷ 4/3

x = 60 x 3/4

x = 45

Find their age:

Father = x = 45

Mohan = 1/3 x = 1/3 (45) = 15

Answer: Mohan is 15 years old.

Answer 2

$<b>$Answer:

$Let\: the \:age\: of\: mohan's\: father = x \\ \\ Mohan's \:age = \frac{1}{3} x \\ \\ Sum of their ages = 60$

So, the equation becomes.....

$= > x + \frac{1}{3} x = 60 \\ \\ = > \frac{3x + 1x}{3} = 60 \\ \\ = > \frac{4x}{3} = 60 \\ \\ = > x = 60 \times \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ = > x = 15 \times 3 \\ \\ = > x = 45$

$Hence, \:mohan's\: father's \:age = x = 45\: years\\ \\ And \\ \\ Mohan's \:age = \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{1}{3} \times 45 = 15 \:years$

Thanks !
