A father's age is one year more than 6 times of his son's age. After 2 years, the father's age would be 1 years less than five times the son's age. Find the present age of the father. |
39 years 37 years 33 years 38 years |
37 years |
At present : ⇒ F = 6S + 1 ..................(i) After 2 years: ⇒ F + 2 = 5(S + 2) - 1 ⇒ F + 2= 5S + 10 - 1 ⇒ F = 5S + 7 ⇒ 6S + 1 = 5S + 7 ( from (i) ) ⇒ S = 6 ⇒ Therefore, age of Father = 6S + 1 = (6 × 6) + 1 = 37 years |
