Read Solution (Total 1)

Let f nd s be the present ages of father nd son
f + s = 60
f = 60 - s

(f-6) = 5(s-6)
f-6 = 5s - 30
f = 5s - 24

Equate "f"
60 - s = 5s - 24
6s = 84
s = 14
f = 60 - 14
f = 46

Present age of son is 14
Age of son after 6 years = 14+6 = 20

Ans : 20
10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
