Question No. 170
In a family, a couple has a son and daughter. The age of the father is three times that of his daughter and the age of the son is half of his mother. The wife
is eight years younger to her husband and the daughter is six years younger than his brother. Find out Father's age?
12 yrs​

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of the daughter  =  x .

Then,  age of the father  =  3 x

age of the mother  = 3 x − 9

age of the son  = 3 x − 9/2

3 x − 9/ 2 − x = 7

⇒ 3 x − 9 − 2 x = 1

⇒ x = 23  

Age of the mother   = 3 x − 9 = 60
