The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be:

  • 112 years
  • 214 years
  • 318 years
  • 420 years
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.
Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
⇒ 54 - x = 5x - 30
⇒ 6x = 84
x = 14.
∴ Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years.
