Question

Sum of the age of the father and the son is 40 years if father age is 3 times that of his son then find their respective ages graphically

Answer 1

Let the son's age be x years

father's age will be 40 - x years

a/q ;

40 - x = 3 x

or, 40 = 4 x

so, x = 40/4 = 10 years ( son's age )

father's age = 40 - 10 = 30 years

Answer 2

hiii!!!

here's ur answer...

given that the sum of the age of father and his son is 40 years and father's age is 3 times that of his son's age.

let the age of the son be x.

therefore age of the father is 3x

==> x + 3x = 40 yrs

==> 4x = 40 yrs

==> x = 40/4

==> x = 10 yrs

hence, age of the son = x = 10 yrs

and age of the father = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30 yrs

hope this helps...!!
