Answer 1

Answer:

20 years and 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

At present:

Let us say ankit's son's age is x.

Then ankit's age = 2*x = 2x    (becoz ankit is twice as old as his son)

Before 9 years:

Ankit's Son's age = x-9 ........... (1)

After 4 years :

Ankit's age = 2x+4 ............. (2)

Now, question says equation (2) is four times (1). so,

2x+4 = 4*(x-9)

2x+4 = 4x - 36

4+36 = 4x-2x

40 = 2x

x=20

So, Ankit's son's age = x = 20 and Ankit's age = 2x = 2*20 = 40 years.

I hope it is helpful :)
