One+year+ago+a+man+was+8+times+as+old+as+his+son.+now+his+age+is+equal+to+the+square+of+his+son'so+age+.find+their+present+age

Answer 1

Hello guys Namaste,

Let age of son one yr ago be x

age of man one yr ago be 8x

age of son after one year = x+1

age of man after one year = 8x+1

now accordind to question..

8x+1= (x+1)^2

8x+1=x^2 + 1 +2x

after solving

8x = x^2 +2x

now, x^2 - 6x=0

solving this we get x=0 and x = 6 but

age cant be zero.

so, x=6

age of son is x+1 = 7 years

and age of man be 8x+1= 49 Answer.
