Father's age is three years more than three times the son's
age. After three years, father's age will be ten years more
than twice the son's age.

What is the father's present age?

Answer Posted / guest

Let son's present age is X years.

Hence, father's present age is (3X + 3) years.

After 3 years, son's age will be (X + 3) years.

and father's age will be (3X + 6) years.

But given that after 3 years father's age will be ten years
more than twice the son's age.

(3X + 6) = 2 * (X + 3) + 10

3X + 6 = 2X + 16

X = 10

Therefore, father's present age is 33 years.
