Answer 1

Answer:

Let ages of father and son be 6x years and x years respectively.

So, 6x + 4 = 4(x+4)

or, 6x + 4 = 4x + 16

or, 2x = 12

or, x = 6

So, 6x = 6*6 = 36

Answer:- - 6 and 36

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: (C)

Explanation: Let the age of father be x and of son is y.

Then according to question,

x = 6y …..(i)

Four years hence age of son will be y + 4 and age of father will be x + 4

Then according to question,

x + 4 = 4 (y + 4)

x – 4y = 12 …..(ii)

Solving equations (i) and (ii) we get:

y = 6 and x =36
