Age Problem
Q. Reversing the digits of father`s age we get son`s age. One year ago father was twice in age of that of his son? find their current ages?
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- Let father's age= 10x+y
son's age=10y+x (as, it is got by reversing digits of fathers age)
ATP, (10x+y)-1=2{(10y+x)-1}
=>x=(19y-1)/8
let y=3 then x=7 .For any other y value , x value combined with y value doesn't give a realistic age (like father's age 120 etc)
So, this has to be solution.Hence father's age=73, son's age =37. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(34) No(2)
- father=73 and son=37
let
currently the age of father is f
currently the age of son is s
given
one year ago
f-1=2(s-1)
2s-2=f-1
2s-f=1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(2)
- Father=73
Son=37
Eqn is
2s-f=1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- Son s= x
father f =2(y-1) (1 year ago)
now,
1 year ago in father and sin's ages
2(y-1)=x-1
2y -x=1
now assign the x value is =37
y=73
here the reverse the digit of father age is = 73 and sun is=37
Ans : s=37 f=73

- Present age of father is 73 and age of his son is 37 ,
Bcoz (73-1)=2*(37-1)
i.e 72=2*36 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- fathter 73 son 37.
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 73 and 37
fathers is 73
son is 37 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- father's age is 73 and age of his son is 37 ,
then (73-1(1 year ago))=2*(37-1(1 year ago))
i.e 72=2*36 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
