Question

what happened at the hermit place​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the present age of his son be X years.

So, present age of his father = X+24 (as he is 24 years older than his son)

After 2 years, father's age become (X+24+2) years and Son's age will be (X+2).

Now, according to question,

X+24+2 = 2*(X +2)

Or, X = 22 years.

Son's present age = 22 years.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• When the king approached, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. Seeing the king, he greeted him and went on digging. The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he stuck his spade into the ground and turned a little earth, he breathed heavily. ... The hermit listened to the king, but answered nothing.
