The sum of ages of father and his son is 60 years after 14 years father's age will be three times the age of the son. find the present ages
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
let the age of son be X
A/Q son's age + father's age = 60
therefore, X + father's age = 60
father's age = 60-X
after 14 years age of son= x+ 14
and age of father after 14 years = 60-X+14= 74-X
A/Q
father's age will be 3 times son's age
this implies
74-X = 3(X+14)
this implies
74-X=3X + 42
this implies
4X=32
X= 8
this implies son's age is 8 years
and father's age = 60-X= 60- 8 =52
The sum of ages of father and his son is 60 years after 14 years father's age will be three times the age of the son. find the present ages.?
☞︎︎︎Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.
❥︎Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
⇒ 54 - x = 5x - 30
⇒ 6x = 84
⇒ x = 14
∴ Son's age after 6 years = (x + 6) = 20 years.
