RE: My son is half of my age & was 1/3rd of my age 10 ...
|
I accept the answer of Puspanjali
let father's age is:- F
and son's age is :- S
present age son =>S=F/2
before 10 year the age of son is=>S-10=F/3
Substituing S=F/2 in S-10=F/3
F/2-10=F/3
cross multiplying this we get,
(F-20)=2F/3
3F-60=2F
Now
3F-2F=60
Therefore F=60
so presently the age of the father is 60 and age of the son is 30
where the age of the son was before 10 year is 1/3rd of the age of his father that is 20 year. |
