A father said to his child, "I was as old as you are at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 48 years now, the child's age six years back was: |
15 Years 16 Years 17 Years 18 Years |
18 Years |
Let the present age of son = x years Present age of father is = 48 years. Father's age at the time of birth of son = (48 -x) years. ATQ, Father's age at the time of birth of son = Present age of son ⇒ (48 - x) = x ⇒ 2x = 48 ⇒ x = 24 Therefore, present age of son = 24 years Son's age six years back = 24 - 6 = 18 years. |
