Answer 1

Answer:14 years and 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Present day age : x. 3x

After 8 years: x+8. 3x+8

Sum of age= 72

3x+8+x+8=72

4x+16=72

4x=56

x=14

Since fathers' age = 3x = 42

Answer 2

Answer:

let present age of mohan be 3x

sons age will be x

after 8years

mohans age is 3x + 8

sons age will be x + 8

so equation forms

3x + 8 + x + 8 = 72

4x + 16 = 72

4x = 56

x = 56/4

x = 14

mohans sons age is 14

mohans age is 42
