Ten years earlier the age of sanjays father was three times the age of sanjay.at present sanjay age is 32 years younger than his father. find their present agees.​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Let the present age of sanjay be x.

His father's age = x + 32

Ten year's ago -

Sanjay age = x - 10

Father's age = x + 22

According to the question -

➩ x + 22 = 3 ( x - 10 )

➩ x + 22 = 3x - 30

➩ 3x - x = 30 + 22

➩ 2x = 52

➩ x = 26

Present age of sanjay = 26 years

Present age of his father = 26 + 32 = 58 years

Answer 2

Given :-

• Let the present age of Sanjay be x. His father's age = x + 32

To find :-

• Ten years ago.

Solution :-

• Sanjay age = x - 10
• Father's age = x + 22

• According to the question

→ x + 22 = 3 (x - 10)

→ x + 22 = 3x - 30

→ 3x - x = 30 + 22

→ 2x = 52

→ x = 26

Present age of Sanjay = 26 years

Hence,

• Present age of his father = 26 + 32 = 58 years.
