ten years ago,arun's father was four times older than his son.after ten years, the father will be twice older son. the present age of arun.
---------------------
Equatiion:
f-10 = 4(s-10)
f+10 = 2(s+10)
--------
Rearrange:
f - 4s = -30
f - 2s = 10
------------------------
Subtract and solve for "s":
2s = 40
s = 20 yrs (son's age now)
---
Solve for "f":
f = 2s+10
f = 40+10
f = 50 yrs (father's age now)
