Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- In 1930 f=8s; In 1938 I.e 8 years after f+8=10*s;
8s+8=10s=>s=4
Therefore f=8*4=32 in 1930;
In 1940 I.e after 10 years f=42,s=14 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(26) No(1)
- Ans 42, 14
In 1930
F=8S------1
In 1938
(F+8)=10S----2
By solving 1 and 2 we get
Fathers age 32
Son age 4
After ten years their ages are 42 and 14. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- In 1930 age of son be = y
In 1930 father age is 8 times of son's age.... so if father age be x
i.e x=8y-----> 1
in 1938 father age will be
(x+8)=10 *(y) ----->2
solve 1 and 2
x+8= 10y---->3
8y+8=10y
y=4--->son age in 1938
put y value in equation 3
you will get fathers age
x+8=10*4
x=32 ----> father age in 1938
so in 1940 father's age ll be...x+2
x=34
similarly,
son age in 1940 is y=6

- in 1930
son=x
f=8x
in 1938
8x+8=10x
x=4
so age in 1940 are
son=4+10=14
father=8*4+10=42
8 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- let in 1930 son's age be x so his father's age should be 8x
in 1938 son's age =x+8 & father's age =10x
so,10x-8x=8,x=4
so,in 1940 son's age=x+10=4+10=14 & father's age=8x+10=42 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 14,42 because of their age in 1930 ....4,32
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
