Question:TWO,YEARS AGO,FATHER WAS THREE TIMESAS OLD AS HIS SON AND TWO YEAR HENCE,TWICE HIS AGE WILL BE EQUAL TO FIVE TIMES THAT OF HIS SON.FIND THEIR PRESENT AGES

Answer:

Let us consider

Son’s age = X

Two years ago son’s age = X – 2

His Father’s age at that time = 3(X – 2)

Present age of Father = 3X – 6 + 2

The present age of Father = 3X – 4

Two years hence father’s age = 3X – 4 + 2

Two years hence father’s age = 3X – 2

Two years hence son’s age = X + 2

Given:

5 × (X + 2) = 2 × (3X – 2)

5X + 10 = 6X – 4

X = 14

Son’s present age X = 14 years.

Father’s present age = (3 × 14) – 4

Father’s present age = 38 years.
