Question

Rahuls father age is 3 Times as old as rahul. Four years ago his father was 4 Times as old as rahul. How old is rahul?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

Let Rahul's age be x now

Now:

Rahuls age = x

Rahul's father's age = 3x (given in the question)

4 years ago,

Rahul's age = x - 4

Rahul's father's age = 4*(x - 4) = 4x - 16 (given in the question)

Rahul's father's age 4 years ago = Rahul's father's age now - 4

⇒ 4x - 16 = 3x - 4

⇒ 4x - 3x = 16 - 4

⇒ x = 12
