. The sum of the present age of son and father is 60 years. 6 years ago father’s age is

5 times of his son. Find the present age of his son.

Answer 1

let sons age be X
then father's age = 60 - X
after 6 years ago
Given,
father's age will be 5 times the son age
60-x+6=5(X)
66-x=5x
66=5x+X
66=6x
66/6=X
X= 11
there fore present age of son = 11years old
then present age of father = 60-11
=49
