Question

Sum of age of fathers and son is 62 years.present age of father is 26 years more than son.Find the present age of father and son

Answer 1

Let the present age of son be X yrs

therefore , the present age of father is X+26 yrs

=> X+X+26 = 62

=> 2x = 62-26

=> 2x = 36

=> X = 18

Present ages:

Son's age = 18yrs

Father's age= 44yrs

Answer 2

Answer:

Present age of son = 18 years

Present age of father = 44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Present age of son = x

Present age of father = x + 26

Sum of age of fathers and son is 62

So,

⇒ x + x + 26 = 62

⇒ 2x = 62 - 26

⇒ 2x = 36

⇒ x = 36 / 2

⇒ x = 18

Present age of son = 18 years

Present age of father = x + 26

⇒ 18 + 26

⇒ 44

Therefore,

Present age of son = 18 years

Present age of father = 44 years
