Question 769942: Two years ago, Dilip age was three times as old as his son and two years hence, twice his age will be equal to five times that of his son. Find their present age? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Dilip age was three times as old as his son
D = 3S
two years hence, twice his age will be equal to five times that of his son.
2(D + 2) = 5(S + 2)
Replace D on left hand side with 3S
2(3S + 2) = 5(S + 2)
6S + 4 = 5S + 10
6S - 5S = 10 - 4
S = 6.
Dilip is aged 20 years old
Son is 8 years old
Hope this helps.
:-)
