The sum of the ages of a father and his son is 45 years. Five years ago, the father was 6 times as old as his son. What is the present age of the father?
- 40 years
- 30 years
- 35 years
- None of these
Explanation
Let the present age of the son = x years.
Present age of the father = 45 − x years.
5 years ago:
Father's age = 40 − x
Son's age = x − 5
According to the question:
40 − x = 6(x − 5)
40 − x = 6x − 30
70 = 7x
x = 10
Son's present age = 10 years.
Father's present age = 45 − 10 = 35 years.
