Logical Reasoning
The sum of the ages of a son and father is 65 years. After 5 years the age of father will be
double of the age of son. What is the age of son?
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- x,y is the age of father and son respetively
so c+y=65
and x+5=2*y++10
=> x-2*y=5
=> x=2*y+5
now put the value of x in
x+y=65
=>2*y+5+y=65
=>y=20
and x is 45 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- x+y=65
x+5=2(y+5)
y=20 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- x+y=65
2(x+5)=(y+5) or y=2x+5
so x+2x+5 = 65
or x= 20 years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- sum of ages of Son And Father After 5 years is 65+10(two Persons)=75
But Given That after 5 years the ages are in 2:1 ratio
That means 3 parts=75
1 part=75/3=25
father =50,son=25
the present age of son is 25-5=20.

- After 5 years total age becomes 75 ..so after 5 years age of some will become 25..so now the age of son is 20
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
