Question

Rahul's Father's age is 6 times of his age. 4 years ago. father's age was 16 times of Rahul's age Find their present ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of Rahul and his father is 6 years and 36 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Rahul be x

Hence, present age of his father will be 6x

4 years ago,

Age of Rahul = x - 4

Age of his father = 6x - 4

By condition,

16(x - 4) = 6x - 4

=> 16x - 64 = 6x - 4

=> 16x - 6x = 64 - 4

=> 10x = 60 => x = 60/10 = 6

Present age of Rahul = x = 6

Present age of his father = 6x = 6×6 = 36

Answer 2

✬ Rahul's age = 6 Years ✬

✬ Father's age = 36 Years ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Rahul's father age is 6 times of his age.
• 4 years ago father's age was 16 times of Rahul's age.

To Find:

• What is the present ages of both ?

Solution: Let Rahul's age be y years. Then,

➱ Rahul's father age = 6 times of y

➱ Father"s age = 6y years

Now, Four years ago their ages was

• Rahul's age = (y – 4) Years
• His father age = (6y – 4) years

But, according to the question

• Four years ago father's age was 16 times that of Rahul's age. So the equation formed will be

$\implies{\rm }$ (Father age) = 16(Rahul's age)

$\implies{\rm }$ (6y – 4) = 16 (y – 4)

$\implies{\rm }$ 6y – 4 = 16y – 64

$\implies{\rm }$ 6y – 16y = – 64 + 4

$\implies{\rm }$ – 10y = – 60

$\implies{\rm }$ 10y = 60

$\implies{\rm }$ y = 60/10

$\implies{\rm }$ y = 6

Hence,

➟ Rahul's present age = x = 6 years

➟ His father's age = 6y = 6 $\times$ 6 = 36 years.
