- Question
- A father's age is one more than 5 times of his son's age. After 3 years, the father's age would be 2 less than four times the son's age. Find the present age of the father.
Options- A. 30 years
- B. 40 years
- C. 31 years
- D. 29 years
- Correct Answer
- 31 years
ExplanationSuppose the age of son is P years
Therefore, the age of father will be 5P + 1
According to question ,
? 4( age of son + 3 ) ? 2 years = age of father + 3 years
? 4 ( P + 3 ) ? 2 = ( 5P + 1 ) + 3
? 4P + 12 ? 2 = 5P + 4
? 10 ? 4 = 5P ? 4P
? P = 6
Age of father = 5P + 1 = 5 × 6 + 1 = 31 years
