Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

Ravi's father is 20 years older to Ravi

sum of their ages after 5 years from now will be 40.

To find:

The present ages of  ravi and his father.

Solving Question:

We have to find the present ages of father and his son.Let 'x' be the present age of Ravi.

Solution:

According to question:

  age of his father =  20 +x

Ravi's age     = x

After 5 years

age of father = 20 +x +5 = 25+x

Ravi's age    = x +5

The sum = 40

⇒ 25 + x + x+5 = 40

or, 2x +30 = 40

or, 2x = 10

or, x = 5

∴ The age of Ravi is 5 years

Therefore the father's age is 20 +x = 20 +5 = 25
