Rnajan is younger than his father hy 20 years. 5 years ago his father was 3 times elder than him. Find the present age or his father.
***
let x=present age of father
x-20=Rnajan's present age
5 yrs ago:
x-5= father's age
x-20-5=x-25=Rnajan's age
x-5=3(x-25)
x-5=3x-75
2x=70
x=35
present age of father=35
