20 years 24 years 25 years 28 years |
25 years |
Let present age of son = x Then according to question age of father is 3 times of age of son at present . i.e. age of father = 3x 6 years ago, the age of son is \(\frac{1}{6}\) of age of father . (3x - 6 )= 6 ( x - 6 ) 3x - 6 = 6x - 36 3x = 30 x= 10 Age of father = 3x = 30 years As it is mentioned in question that his mother is 5 years younger to his father . At present she is also 5 years younger to his father . So, age of mother = 30 - 5 = 25 years |
