Question

Rafeeq's father is 8 times Rafeeq's age. After 2 years, father will be 2 less than 6times Rafeeq's age. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Rafeeq's father is 8 times Rafeeq's age. After 2 years, father will be 2 less than 6times Rafeeq's age. Find their present ages.

let rafeeq be x and his father be y

ACQ,

y = 8x

AND,

 After 2 years, father will be 2 less than 6times Rafeeq's age

so lets form an equation

6(x +2) = y +2 + 2

sicne y = 8x

6(x +2) = 8x +2 + 2

6x +12 =8x +4

12 - 4 = 8x - 6x

8 = 2x

x = 4

now father = 4x = 8*4 = 32 years

rafeez = 4 : father = 32
