- Question
- The sum of the ages of a father and a son presently is 70 years. After 10 years the son's age is exactly half that of the father's. What are their ages now?
Options- A. 45 years, 25 years
- B. 50 years, 20 years
- C. 47 years, 23 years
- D. 50 years, 25 years
- Correct Answer
- 50 years, 20 years
ExplanationSuppose the present age of son = P years
The present age of father = Q years
P + Q = 70 ...(i)
According to question, 2(P + 10) = Q + 10
? 2P + 20 = Q + 10
? 2P ? Q = ?10 ....(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii) , we get
3P = 70 ? 10 = 60 ? P = 20 years
? Q = 70 ? 20 = 50 years - 1. Three words in bold letters are given in each question, which have something in common among themselves. Out of the four given alternatives, choose the most appropriate description about these three words. knot: Watt: Fathom
