Question 4

Two years ago a man was six times as old as his son. In 18 years, he will be twice as old as
his son. What are their present ages of the man and his son?

Suppose Man's age = M

Son's age = S

By the problem,

M - 2 = 6(S- 2)

M- 2 = 6S -12

6S - M = 10... (i)

M + 18 = 2 ( S + 18)

M + 18 = 2S + 36

M -2S = 18.....(ii)

Solving i and ii we get the required solutions
