Answer 1

hey

Present age of son=x
present age of father=2x
after 8 years,

2x+8/x+8=7/4
8x+32=7x+56
x=24
father's age is 48 and son's age is 24

Hope it helps to you.

Answer 2

Let the present age of son is x

then,

the present age of father's is 2x

8 years later ,

father's age = 2x + 8

son's age = x + 8

A/q,

=>2x +8/x +8 = 7/4

=> 8x +32 = 7x +56

=> 8x - 7x = 56-32

=> x = 24

father's age = 48 years

son's age = 24 years
