Question

The sum of Present ages of father and his son is 60 years. Six

years ago, the age of father was five times the age of son. Find the present age of father and son​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively. ∴ Son's age after 6 years = (x + 6) = 20 years
