Answer:
The answer will be;
mother's age = 24
son age = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of the present age of mother and son;
= 4:1
Thus, mother's age = 4x. (for some integer x)
and son's age = x
After 12 years;
mother's age = 4x + 12
son's age = x+ 12
and the ratio of their age = 2:1;
Thus,
mother's age/ son's age = 2/1
(4x + 12)/(x + 12) = 2/1
4x + 12 = 2x + 24
2x = 24 - 12
x = 12/2
x = 6.
Thus son's age = 6 years old.
and, mother's age = 6(4)
= 24 years.
That's all.
