Question

Rakesh's father is 30 years older than his son. After 12 years, the age of Rakesh's father will be three times as that of Rakesh. Find the present age of Rakesh and his father.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rakesh's father's age be x years

Let rakesh's age be y years

Let rakesh's father's age after 12 years be (x+12) years

Let rakesh's age after 12 years be (y+12) years

A.T.Q

x=y+30

x+12= 3( y+12 )

(y+30)+12 = 3y + 36

y+42 = 3y +36

42-36 = 3y-y

6 = 2y

y = 3

x =3+30

x= 33

so rakesh's father's age is 33 years

and rakesh's age is 3 years
