if a boy is 24 year younger than his father and after two years the sum of their ages will be 40.how old is the father?

1 answer

Let f = age of father
and(f-24) = age of son
After two years their sum of ages will be 40. So,
(f+2) + (f-24) + 2 = 40
2f - 20 = 40
2f = 40 + 20
2f = 60
father(f) = 30 yrs
