Question

A father and his son decide to sum their age. The sum is equal to sixty years. Six years ago, the age of the father was five times the age of the son. six years from now the son's age will be?

Answer 1

let the age of the son before 6 years be x

father=5x

their sum=60

so, X+5x=60

6x=60

x=10

age of boy before 6 years =10

• father =5*10=50
• age of boy after 6 year =10+6=16
• age of boy =16
