Question

the age of tarun is one-third the age of his mother. if the sum of thier ages is 48.find the age of tarun.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

let tarun's age be x hence his mother's age will become thrice his age which is 3x

we are given that sum of their ages is 48

hence;

x + 3x = 48

4x =48

x=12

tarun's age is 12 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

lets take age of tarun's mother as x

so tarun's age = (1/3)x = x/3

according to question,

x + (x/3) = 48

=> 4x/3 = 48

=> x = 48*3/4 = 36 = age of tarun's mother

age of tarun = x/3 = 36/3 = 12 years
