10 years ago,
Age of son = x
Age of abdul = 7x
Now
Age of son= x+ 10
Age of abdul= 7x + 10
After 10 years
Age of son = x + 20
Age of abdul = 7x + 20
2(x+20) = 7x + 20
2x + 40 = 7x + 20
2x + 20 = 7x
20 = 7x - 2x
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
Age of son now = x+10 = 4+10 = 14
Age of abdul now = 7x + 10 = (7×4) +10 = 38
Hope this will help....
