Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Father's age is 36 years.

Rahul's age is 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of father be x .

Then, 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 years and that of Rahul is 12 years.
