Age of son = 6 years
Age of father = 6 × 5 = 30 years
Let after P years father will be 4 times of son.
According to question ,
? 30 + P = 4 (6 + P)
? 4P ? P = 30 ? 24
? 3P = 6
? P = 2 years

Explanation:
Correct Answer: 32 years
Explanation:
Given :- The age of person is 6 years
His father's age = 6 × 6 = 36 years
Therefore, the age of his mother = His father's age - 4 years = 36 ? 4 = 32 years
Correct Answer: 45, 95
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
Suppose present age of Mrs. Lata = P years
Present age of son = Q years
? Their total age = 64 years
P + Q = 64 ....... (i)
According to question,
8 years ago , present age of Mrs. Lata - 8 years = 3 × ( present age of her son - 8 years )
? P ? 8 = 3 (Q ? 8)
? P ? 8 = 3Q ? 24
? P ? 3Q = ? 16 ......(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
4Q = 80 ? Q = 20
Putting the value of Q in eq.(i)
? Age of Mrs. Lata = 64 ? 20 = 44 years
