Q. "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?
Explanation by: Deepak Sahoo
Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q', Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P) Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)] We get 6P = 10Q, Substitute value for Q, 6P = 10(64 - P), Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
