Question

Rachit is four times as old as his son. four years hence the sum of their ages will be 43 years. the present age of the son is? solution

Answer 1

let the present age of rachit be x years and his son be y years
therefore according to the question
case 1 :- x= 4 Y
ages 4 years from now will be X + 4 and Y + 4
and case 2:- X + 4 + Y + 4= 43
substituting the value of x from case 1 we get
4y+4+y+4=43
5y= 43- 8
5y=35
y=7
therefore the present age of son is 7 years

son's age = 7 years old
