Question

The sum of ages of son and father is 64. after 4 years the age of father will be three times that of his sons. The age of father is?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Father's current age: 50

Son's current age: 14

Explanation:

The sum of current ages: 64

The sum of ages after 4 years:

64 + 4 + 4 = 72

Let son's age be x

Then father's age will be 3x

x + 3x = 72

4x = 72

x = 72/4

x = 18

Son's age after 4 years:

x = 18

Father's age after 4 years:

3x = 54

Son's current age:

18 - 4 = 14

Father's current age:

54 - 4 = 50

Hope it helps.
