Question

rahim's father age is three times as old as rahim. if sum of their ages is 56 years find their ages

Answer 1

Rahim=14 and his father =42

Answer 2

Let the present age of Father be x yrs
And the present age of Rahim be y yrs

ATQ
x = 3y ---------------------------i
x+y = 56 -------------------------ii

Substituting the value of x from i to ii

3y+y = 56
=> 4y = 56
=> y = 14 yrs

x = 3y
= 3x14
= 42 yrs


Therefore, the present age of Father is 42 years, and the present age of Rahim is 14 years.
