Question

The sum of present ages of anil and his father is 54 years. Six years ago, anil's father was 6 times as old as anil , find their present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let A be Anil's age and F be his father's age.

Sum of present ages of anil and his father is 54 years i.e., A + F = 54 ------- eqn 1

Six years ago,

Father's age = F - 6

Anil's age = A - 6

F-6 = 6(A-6)

Sub. F=54-A ( from eqn 1)

A = 12

Sub A = 12 in eqn 1,

F = 42
