Answer 1

Let the present age of son be a

Father's present age = 4a

According to question,

4a + a = 65

=> 5a = 65

=> a = 13

Present age of son = 13 years

Present age of father = 52 years

Answer 2

Leta son's age be x years.

so, father's age  = 4 x.

A/Q, x + 4 x = 65

∴ x = 13

son's age = 13 years

father's age = 52 years
