Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son age = x
The age of father six times the age of his son = 6x
Four years hence = 6x +4. Eq 1
The age of father will be four times the age of his son = 4( x+4) Eq 2
Eq 1= Eq 2
6x+4= 4(x+4) = 6x +4 = 4x + 16 = 6x+4-4x-16 =0
2x = 12
x =12/2=6. x=6
Substitute in 6x = 6(6)=36
Hence 6 and 36

Let the present age of father's be x years and present age of son's be y years.
According to the problem
x=6y
After 4 years
x+4=4(y+4)
Hence we get two equations
x=6y ......... (1)
x+4=4(y+4) ..... (2)
Simplifying eq (2)
x+4=4y+16
x−4y=12
Put x=6y in eq (2), we get
6y−4y=12
2y=12
y=6 years
and x=6y=36 years
Present age of son =6 years
and present age of father =36 years
