Question

Rahul's father is thrice as old as Rahul. After 12 years he will be just twice his son. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of father be x

the age of rahul be y

according to the given conditions

x=3y

(x+12)=2(y+12)⟹x−2y=12⟹3y−y=12⟹y=12,x=3(12)=36

∴ the age of father is 36 and rahul's is 12
