Answer 1

Answer:

The age of father is 36 years !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Father be x

and the sum of age of 5 children be y

Given ; The age of father is equal to sum of ages of his 5 children

i.e, x = y ..... ( i )

After , 15 years

Father's age will be = x + 15

Sum of age's of children = y + 5 ( 15 )

= y + 75

Also, after 15 years sum of the ages of the children will be twice the age of father

y + 75 = 2 ( x + 15 )

y + 75 = 2x + 39

36 = 2x - y ..... ( i )

Putting value of y from ( i ) in ( ii )

36 = 2x - x

36 = x

So, the age of Father is x = 36 years !
