Question

Sum of the ages of a father and the son is 40 years. If father's age is 3 times that of his son, then father's age is ________ * 2 points 35 40 30 45

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

Sum of ages= 40

Let the sons age be x

Fathers age = 3 times x or ,3x

So 3x+x=40

4x= 40

x= 40/4

= 10

Therefore the fathers age = 3x

= 3*10

= 30
