1.
Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of Ronit's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Ronit's age?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years.
 |
(4x + 8) = | 5 | (x + 8) |
| 2 |
8x + 16 = 5x + 40
3x = 24
x = 8.
| Hence, required ratio = | (4x + 16) | = | 48 | = 2. |
| (x + 16) | 24 |

Although, I got the solution but cann't we add 16 in the second step, as the fater age is increased by 16 I. E 8 and further 8 years.

Age of son=x
then,
(x+3x)=4x
after 8 years
(4x+8)=2.5(x+8)
8x+16=5x+40
x=8
after 8 years
(4x+16)=y(x+16)
wkt x=8
s0,
y=(32+16)/(8+16)
y=2.
then,
(x+3x)=4x
after 8 years
(4x+8)=2.5(x+8)
8x+16=5x+40
x=8
after 8 years
(4x+16)=y(x+16)
wkt x=8
s0,
y=(32+16)/(8+16)
y=2.

Ohhh got it ...we are to put d value of x i.e 8 in d equation...:)
= (4x+16)/(x+16)
= (4x8+16)/(8x16)
= 48/24
= 2 times
:)
= (4x+16)/(x+16)
= (4x8+16)/(8x16)
= 48/24
= 2 times
:)
