Question

Raju’s father’s age is 5 years less than four times Raju’s age. Find Raju’s age if his father’s age is 47 yrs.​

Answer 1

Let Raju's age be x years.

As per question, Raju's father age is 5 years less than 4 times Raju's age

→ 4 times Raju's age = 4x

→ Five years less than 4 times Raju's age → 4x - 5

Raju's father age = 4x - 5

But given, his father's age is 47

Therefore,

4x - 5 = 47

→ 4x = 52

→ x = 13

Hence, Raju is 13 years old.
