4 years ago father was 9 times older than his son. after 2
years father was 42.what is the present age of his son and
father.

Answer Posted / angu ganesh

According to the question,

2 years after Father's age is 42.
So Present age of Father is 40 years explicitly.

4 years ago Father's age is 36. In this stage Father's age
is 9 times older than his Son. (ie) Father's age is equal
to 10 times of his Son's age.

10(Son's age) = Father's age
10x=36 => x=3.6 (ie) Four years ago, Son's
age is 3.6. Present age of son is 7.6 years

Answer. Father's age is 40 years.
Son's age is 7.6 years (7 years)
