Question :-

Mr Sharma is thrice as old as his son. Three years ago Mr Sharma was four times as old as his son. Find their present ages.

____________________

Answer :-

• His son's age = 9 years
• Mr Sharma age = 27 years

Explanation :-

Let us assume that present age of Mr Sharma's son is x and present age of Mr Sharma is 3x

Three years ago ,

Mr Sharma age = 3x

His son's age= x

According to Question ,

$\implies \tt \blue{3x - 3 = 4(x - 3)}$

$\implies \tt \blue{3x - 3 = 4x - 12}$

$\implies \tt \blue{4x - 3x = 12 - 3}$

$\implies \tt \blue{x = 9}$

•°• His son's age is 9 years and Mr Sharma age is 3(x)=27 years.
