Question

The total age of father and son at present is 60 yrs .Ten yrs ago, the father was three times as old as his son find the present ages of the father and the son​

Answer 1

Let the present age of son be x.

Then, present age of father is (60−x).

According to the question,

⇒ (60−x)−6=5(x−6)

⇒ 54−x=5x−30

⇒ 54+30=5x+x

⇒ 84=6x

⇒ x= 84/6

⇒ x=14

∴ Son's age after 6 years =(x+6)years

=(14+6)years

=20years.
