Question

Nadeem's father is thrice as old as Nadeem. after 12 years he will be just twice his son. find there present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nadeem's age = 12 years

Nadeem's Father's age = 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Nadeem = x

Therefore his father's age = 3x

After 12 years

Nadeem's age = x + 12

Nadeem's Father's age = 3x + 12

But it is given that after 12 years Nadeem father is twice as old and Nadeem therefore -

3x + 12 = 2(x + 12)

3x + 12 = 2x + 24

3x - 2x = 24 - 12

x = 12

3x = 12 × 3 = 36
