roht was 4 times as old as his son 8 years ago. after 8
years , rohit will be twicw as old as his son. what are
their present ages?(**** please give explanaion***)
Answer Posted / dillip kumar dash
let's assume that rohit's present age is x and his son's
present age is y. 2 equations formed using these.
x-8 = 4(y-8) -> represtning 8 ago from present time.
x+8 = 2(y+8) -> representing 8 yrs ahead from now.
subtract 2nd equation from 1st. the resulting equation w'd
be: 2y-48=-16
y=16
x=2y+8
=40
hence Rhit's present age is 40, his son's present age is 16
yrs.
