Given :
- Present age of Ashok is equal to the square of his son age.
- One year ago , Ashok was eight times as old as his son.
What To Find :
- Present ages of Ashok and his son
Solution :
Let assume the present age of Ashok be x
Let assume the present age of his son be y
✯ According to the question
One year ago Mr. Ashok was eight times as old as his son.
☯ So ,
- Age of Ashok = (x - 1)
- Age of his son = 8 (y - 1)
☯ Therefore :
x - 1 = 8(y - 1)
x - 1 = 8y - 8
8 - 1 = 8y - x
7 = 8y - x
✯ Now , Re - arrange in descending order
- 8y - x = 7
✯ Solving equation 1 and equation 2
8y - y² = 7
☯ Again , Re - arrange in descending order
y² - 8y = 7
Solving this quadratic equation by Splitting the middle term method.
⇛y² - 8y + 7 = 0
⇛y² - 7y - y + 7 = 0
⇛y(y - 7) - 1(y - 7) = 0
⇛(y - 1) (y - 7) = 0
⇛y = 1 or 7
⬤ Consider age of son is 7 years
✯ Putting the values of y in equation 1
⇝x = y²
⇝x = 7²
⇝x = 49
⬤ Hence , the age of Ashok is 49 years
Final Answer :
- Age of Ashok is 49 years
- Age of his son is 7 years
