Question

The age of a man is 24 years more than the age of his daughter. If the sum of their ages is 48 years.
Find the age of daughter and his father ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x = son’s age and x + 24 = the father’s age. Now add 10 years to each person

x + 10 (son) plus x + 24 + 10 (father) = 68

2x + 44 = 68

2x = 24

x = 12 (son)

12 + 24 = 36 (father)

So the son was 12 and the father was 36

12 + 10 (son) plus 36 + 10 (father) = 68 (in ten years)

Answer 2

Answer :

Age of

• Father = 36 years.
• His daughter = 24 years.

Explanation :

Question says that,

The age of a man is 24+ than his daughter. The sun of their age is 48 years.

Find their age.

If we assume the daughter's age as $x$ years.

Then, her father's age will be $(x + 24)$ years.

According to the question :

$\implies x + (x + 24) = 48$

$\implies 2x + 24 = 48$

$\implies 2x = 48 - 24$

$\implies 2x = 24$

$\implies x = \dfrac{24}{2}$

$\implies x = 12$

$\therefore{ \underline{ \sf{daughters \: age \: is \: 12 \: years}}}$

Hence, her father's age is :

24 more than her daughter

Or,

➛ 12 + 24 years

➛ 36 years.
