Question 22

Jais and his father has an age difference of 35 years now, After 5 years, the sum of their age is 125. What will be the age of jais and his father after 12 years from now ?

Solution

Let Jais's present age = $$x$$ years

=> Jais's father's present age = $$(x+35)$$ years

Sum of their ages after 5 years = $$(x+5)+(x+35+5)=125$$

=> $$2x+45=125$$

=> $$2x=125-45=80$$

=> $$x=\frac{80}{2}=40$$

$$\therefore$$ Age of jais and his father after 12 years from now = $$(x+12)$$ and $$(x+35+12)$$

= $$52$$ and $$87$$ years

=> Ans - (D)
