Kartik’s father age is four times the age of Kartik. Three years ago, Kartik’s father age was seven times the age of Kartik. The present age of Kartik is: |
12 years 6 years 9 years 8 years |
6 years |
Let Kartik's present age = x So Present age of kartik's father = 4x Here, Three years ago Kartik's age = x - 3 Three years ago kartik's father age = 4x - 3 ATQ, 4x - 3 = 7 (x - 3) 3x = 18 x = 6 Hence, Present age of kartik is 6 years. |
