The sum of the present ages of a father and son is 60 years. Six years ago,fathers age was five times the age of the son. After six years,sons age will be ?

• 20 years
  
  If present age of father=x and son=y, then x+y=60 ---(i) and (x-6)=5(y-6) or x-5y=-24 ---(ii)
  On solving (i) & (ii), x=46, y=14, So son's age after 6 years will be 14+6=20 years

• let the sons age six years ago be x then fathers age will be 5x
  now given the sum of present ages of son and father is 60 i.e x+6+5x+6=60
  6x+12=60
  6x=48 i.e x=8 then the present ages of son and father becomes as son=8+6 =14 and father=5*8+6=46
  But in question we have to find that sons age after 6 years i.e 14+6=20

• The age of son after 6 years is 20.
  The present age of son is calculated using F + S = 60. Before 6 years it is calculated as (F - 6) = 5(S - 6) and the age of son is calculated

• father's present age=x
  son's present age=y
  sum of their present ages=60 ==> x+y=60 -----eq(1)
  6 years ago, father's age=x-6
  son's age=y-6
  given that, 6 years ago father's age=5 times of son's age ==> x-6=5(y-6) -----eq(2)
  on solving eq(1) & (2), we get y=14 ==>son's present age=14
  after 6 years son's age=14+6=20

• f+s=60 ------------(i)
  f-6=5(s-6) -----------(ii)
  After solving equation (i) & (ii)
  s=14+6=20.

• father age+son age=60. before 6years father age 5times of son age=5:1=48(6years back son age decrease 6years&father age decrease 6yeas total decrease 12 years) now f+s=60 and after 6years son age 20

• s+f=60 (present age);
  s+(5*s)=60-6; (6yr ago father was 5*son);
  6*s=54;
  s=14 yr; (age of son before 6 yr);
  so
  s=20 yr; (son age after 6 yr).

• by given data,
  (7 people+new)/8=(7 people+65)/8+2.5
  solving, new=85

• F+S=60=> F=S-60
  F-6=5(S-6)
  S-60-6=5S-30
  S=14
  after 6 years=S+6
  =14+6=20years(sons age after 6 years)

• 20
  
  16+4 =20
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• x+y=60
  (x-6)=5(y-6)
  by solving y=14
  after six year son age will be 20

• let son age is x then father age will be (60-x)
  after six yr (60-x)-6=5(x-6)
  x=14
  so after six yr son age=14+6=20 yr ans
