Mohan's father was two times as old as Mohan was two year ago.Today sum of their age is 60.Find their present age.
------
Equations:
f = 2(m-2)
f + m = 60
-----
Substitute for "f" and solve for "m":
60-m = 2m-4
3m = 64
Mohan's age = 21 1/3 yrs
--------------------------
Solve for "f":
f + (64/3) = 60
f + (64/3) = 180/3
---
f = 116/3 = 38 2/3 (father's age now)
