Question

three years ago. the sumof the ages of father and son was 48years after three years the ratio of the ages of the father and son will be 3:1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assuming the question to be "Find the current ages of both of them" I'm answering the following

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of father 3 years before be x

therefore age of the son was= 48-x

after 3 years, the age of the father would be,

x+3 (current age)

the age of son will be 48-x+3 (current age)

=51-x

after 3 more years

age of father:x+6

age of son: 54-x

therefore

(x+6)/(54-x)=3/1

=>x+6=162-3x

=>4x=156

=>x=39

thus current age of father is 39+3=42 years

and that of the son is (48-39)+3=12 years
