A Father Tells His Son, “i Was Of Your Present Age When You Were Born”. If The Father Is 36 Now, How Old Was The Boy 5 Years Back ? |
|
Answer» LET the FATHER’s AGE be x and the son’s age be y. Then, x-y = y or x = 2Y Now, x = 36. So, 2y = 36 or y = 18. Therefore son’s present age = 18 years. So, son’s age 5 years ago = 13 years. Let the father’s age be x and the son’s age be y. Then, x-y = y or x = 2y Now, x = 36. So, 2y = 36 or y = 18. Therefore son’s present age = 18 years. So, son’s age 5 years ago = 13 years. |
