Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: Let the present age of the SON = x years and the present age of the father = 3x years After 12 years, Son’s age will be (x + 12) years and father’s age will be (3x + 12) years According to the condition, 3x + 12 = 2 (x + 12) 3x + 12 = 2x+ 24 3x – 2x = 24 – 12 x= 12 ∴ Present age of the son = 12 years and Present age of the father = 3×12 years = 36 years |
