Answer»

GIVEN :

⬤ Father age is 4 YEARS more than TWICE the age of his Son .

SUM of their ages is 46 years .

To Find :

⬤ Present Age of Son .

Solution :

Let :

  • Age of Son = x
  • Age of Father = 2x + 4

\sf{x+2x+4=46}

3x + 4 = 46

3x = 46 - 4

3x = 42

x = 42/3

x = 14

Therefore , The Value of x is 21 .

HENCE ,

Age of Son = x

= 14

Age of Father = 2x + 4

= 2(14) + 4

= 28 + 4

= 32

Therefore , Age of Son is 14 years and Age of Father is 32 years .
