Answer 2

Question

Mr Awasthi is four times as old as his son and the sum of their ages is 60. Find their present age.

Answer

☯︎ Mr. Awasthi age = 48 yrs

☯︎ His Son's present age = 12 yrs

Step Wise Explanation

Let his Son's age be x yrs .

According to the question.

Mr Awasthi age would be 4x yrs.

Now, we're given that the sum of their ages is 60

$\bullet \sf \: \: \red{4x + x = 60}$

$\sf 5x = 60 \\ x = \sf\frac{60}{5} = \frac{ \cancel{60}}{ \cancel{5}} = \red{12}$

Now , we've taken their ages as x and 4x respectively.

$x = \bf12 \\ 4x = 4 \times 12 = \bf48$

Therefore , his age is 48 yrs while his son's age is 12 yrs .
