varuns age - x
his father's age- 5x
after 6 years
Varun age-x+6
father's age - 5x +6
(x+6) + (5x+6) = 60
6x + 12 = 60
6x = 60-12
6x = 48
x = 48/6
x=8

Answer :
Varun's present age = 8 years
His father's present age = 40 years
Step-by-step explanation :
Let the present age of Varun be x years
- The present age of Varun's father is 5 times the present age of Varun.
The present age of Varun's father = 5x years
- After six years their ages will add up to 60 years
After 6 years,
Varun's age = (x+6) years
His father's age = (5x+6) years
x + 6 + 5x + 6 = 60
6x + 12 = 60
6x = 60 - 12
6x = 48
x = 48/6
x = 8
∴ The present age of Varun = 8 years
The present age of his father = 5(8) = 40 years
