Answer 2

Given :

• Sumita's age is x years.
• His father is 2 years less than thrice his age.

Find :

Age of father.

$\bold{\underline{\underline{Solution\::}}}$

Sumita's age is x years. But wait, we don't have given age of Sumita age too.

Her age is unknown because we have given her age x years.

Assume :

Let the -

• Age of Sumita be 2 years.

According to question,

His father is 2 years less than thrice the age of Sumita.

Age of father = 3(2) - 2

⇒ 6 - 2

⇒ 4

It's impossible that he become father at the age of 4 years.

Again,

Let the -

• Age of Sumita be 12 years.

According to question,

Age of father = 3(12) - 2

⇒ 36 - 2

⇒ 34

∴ Age of father is 34 years.

If age of Sumita is 14 years. Then,

According to question,

Age of father = 3(14) - 2

⇒ 42 - 2

⇒ 40

∴ Age of father is 40 years.

The age of father depends upon what's the age of Sumita is.
