Answer:
5 & 30 Years
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the ages (in years) of a son and his father is 35 and the product of their ages is 150. find their ages.
Let say father age = F Years
Son Age = 35 -F Years
FS = 150
F (35 - F) = 150
=> 35F - F² = 150
=> F² - 35F + 150 = 0
=> F² -30F -5F + 150 = 0
=> F(F-30) -5(F-30) = 0
=> (F-5)(F-30) = 0
=> F = 5 & F = 30
Father Age = 30 Years ( F can not be 5 as Son can not be elder than Father)
Son Age = 35 - 30 = 5 Years
