Question

Q.The present age of Mohan is three tirmes the age of his son After 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 72 years. Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let mohan's son's age be x

his age be 3x

after 8 years

x+8 = 3x+8

Sum of 2 ages

(x+8)+(3x+8)=72

4x+16=72

4x=72-16

4x=56

x=56÷4

x=14

age of mohan's son = 14+8 =22

age of mohan=(3×14)+8 = 50

Answer 2

SOLUTION

Mohan's son age = x

Mohan's son age = xMohan's age = 3x

After 3 years

=) son age = x+8

Mohan age = 3x+8

=) x+8+3x+8= 72

=) 4x+16= 72

=) 4x= 72-16

=) 4x= 56

=) x= 56/4

=) x= 14

Now,

Mohan age = 3x

=) 3× 14

=) 42 years

Son age = 14 years

hope it helps ☺️
