Question 151

The average age of a man and his son is 28 years. The ratio of their ages is 3 : 1 respectively. What Is the man’s age ?

Solution

Let man's age = $$3x$$ years

Sons's age = $$x$$ years

=> $$(3x + x) = 2 \times 28$$

=> $$4x = 56$$

=> $$x = \frac{56}{4} = 14$$

$$\therefore$$ Man's age = 3 * 14 = 42 years
