The age of father 10 years ago was thrice the age of his son. Ten years hence, father’s age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son’s age will be:​

Answer 1

Answer : Let the age of son be x

Let the age of father be x+10

Ten year hence

Son= 5(x -10)

Father= x+10

6year hence

son= x+6

Father. = x+6+10

x+16

5(x-10+x+6)= x+16

5x-50+5x+30=x+16

5x-20=x+16-5x

x+16+20=0

x+36=0

x= 36

x=36+10

x=46
