  • A father's age is four times as much as the sum of the ages of his three children but 6 years hence his age will be only double the sum of their ages. Then the age of the father is?


  • Options
  • A. 30 years
  • B. 40 years
  • C. 60 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 years 

    Explanation

    Let father's age be x years and the sum of ages of children be y years.
    ? x = 4 y ....(i)
    Also (x + 6) = 2(y + 6 + 6 + 6) ....(ii) [6 is added thrice for three children ]
