Answer 1

Answer:-

Son age = 10 years

Father age = 30 years

Given :-

Sum of ages of father and son is 40 years.

Father age is 3 times the son age.

To find :-

The age of father and son.

Solution:-

Let the age of father and son be x and y years respectively.

A/Q.

$x + y = 40 ----1$

$x = 3y ------2$

Put the value of x in eq.1

→$3y + y = 40$

→$4y = 40$

→$y = \dfrac{40}{4}$

→$y = 10 years$

Now, put the value of y in eq. 2

→$x = 3y$

→$x = 3\times 10$

→$x = 30 years$

hence, The age of father is 30 years and that of son is 10 years.

Your answer is :-

The age of father 30 years and son is 10 years.
