Answer 2

Answer :

➥ The age of Suman = 48 years

➥ The age of Suman's son = 12 years

Given :

➤ Suman is 4 times as old as his son.

➤ The sum of their ages = 60 years

To Find :

➤ The age of Suman = ?

➤ The age of Suman's son = ?

Required Solution :

✒ To find their ages, First we will consider the age of Suman and age be 4x and Suman's son be x, Then, we solve the solution on the basis of conditions given above.$\:$

Let ,

The age of Suman be "4x" and the age of Suman's some be "x"

⇒ Sum of their ages = 60

⇒ 4x + x = 60

⇒ 5x = 60

⇒ x = 60/5

⇒ x = 12

Therefore ,

⇛ The age of Suman = 4x

⇛ The age of Suman = 4 × 12

⇛ The age of Suman = 48 years

⇛ The age of Suman's son = x

⇛ The age of Suman's son = 12 years

║Hence, the age of Suman is 48 years and age of Suman's son is 12 years.║
