Answer 1

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of son be x.

Then, present age of father is (60−x).

According to the question,

⇒ (60−x)−6=5(x−6)

⇒ 54−x=5x−30

⇒ 54+30=5x+x

⇒ 84=6x

⇒ x= 84/6

⇒ x=14

∴ Son's age after 6 years =(x+6)years

=(14+6)years

=20years.

Answer 2

$\Large\bf \underline\purple{Answer }$

• Let take present age to be (X)
• Then, the present age of his father is given as = (60-x)

$\Large\bf\underline\green{According \: to \: the \: question}$

• ⇒(60-x) - b = 5 (X-6)
• 54 - x = 5x-30
• 54 + 30 = 5x+x
• 84 = 6x

$\small\bf\underline\pink{⇒X \: = \: 84/6 }$

$\small\bf\underline\pink{⇒ \: x \: = 14 }$

• Son after 6 Year .= (X+6) years
• (14+6) Years

$\small\bf\underline\blue{⇒20 \: year }$
