Question

Mr.Roy is thrice as old as his son at present. After twelve years, he will be 24 years older than-his son. What is the age of mr. Roy at present

Answer 1

i think answer will be 12 yrs

Answer 2

Answer:

Let son's age be x.

Then Roy’s age =2x + 12.

After 12yrs, son's age=x+12 & Roy’s age=2x+12+12

Then, we get the equation as

=> 3(x + 12) = 2x + 12 + 12.

=> x = 12

Hence, Roy's age = 36.
