Question 833449: The age of a man 10 years hence was four times the age of his son. Father's age after 10 years will be twice the age of son. Find their present ages Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is impossible.
Father will be 4 times the son's age in 10 years.
Father will be 2 times the son's age in 10 years.
Are you certain you have this written correctly?
Or, someone is misusing the word 'hence'. Hence means "from this time on" which would mean ten years in the future.
