Question

The sum of the present ages of the Rani and her father is 43 years. Six years hence, father will be 4 times as old as his daughter. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 & 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Rani- r

Present age of father- f

r+f=43 -------(1)

6 years hence:

(r+6)*4=f+6

4r+24=f+6

f=4r+18

Replacing f with 43-r from equation (1)

43-r=4r+18

4r+r=43-18

5r=25

r=5

and

f=43-5=38

So their ages are 5 and 38
