Question

The sum of present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's ago was 5 times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be

Answer 1

Let son's present age =x yrs

So father's present age will be = 60-x yrs

A/q

6 yrs ago....

Son's age was = x-6

And father's age was = 48 - x yrs

Now

5(x-6) = 48 - x

5x-30 = 48 - x

5x+x = 48 + 30

6x = 78

X = 13

Hence son's present age is 13 yrs

After 6 yrs his age will be = 19 yrs
