Question

The present age of father is 34 years more than that of his son. Twelve years ago father's age was 18 times the age of his son. What is the present age of the son in years

Answer 1

Hi Friend !!!

==================


let the present age of son be x

then father's age = x + 34


Twelve years ago ,

father's age = x+34 -12 = x + 22

son's age = x-12

according to the question ,

x+22 = 18(x-12)

x+22 = 18x - 216

18x-x = 22+216

17x = 238

x = 238/17

x = 14


so the son's present age is 14 years

Hope it helps u:-)

Answer 2

HELLO......FRIEND!!

THE ANSWER IS HERE,

Let the present age of son be x.

And father's age will be x+34.

12 years ago,

=> Father's age =18×son age.

=> (x+34-12)=18 (x-12)

=> x+22=18x-216

=> 17x=216+22=238

=> x=238/17

=> x=14

So, The present age of son is 14years.

:-)Hope it helps u.
