Question

Mr Cesar is 20 years older than his son Cyrus. After eight years he will be twice as old as his son. Find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Sons present age is 12 yrs and ceasers present age (father) is 32 yrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sons age be x.

Fathers age = x + 20

After 8 yrs:

Son = x + 8 yrs

Father = x + 20 + 8 = x + 28 yrs.

➡️ According to que :

2(x + 8) = x + 28

2x + 16 = x + 28

2x - x = 28 - 16

x = 12 years

Sons present age = 12 years

Fathers present age = x + 20 = 12 + 20 = 32 years.
