Question

The difference between tara and her father is 24years. Five years ago she was one fifth of her father's age.Find their present ages?

Answer 1

Answer:11 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Thara’s age be m. Then his father is m+24 years old.

5 years ago Thara’s and her father’s age was m-5 and m+24-5=m+19

So m+19=5(m-5)

5m-m=19+25

4m=44

m=11

So Thara’s age is 11 years and her father’s age is 11+24=35 years
