Question

Amit is now 6 times as old as his son. Four years from now, the sum oftheir ages will be 43 years. Determine Amit's present age:

• A. 30 years
• B. 32 years
• C. 34 years
• D. 28 years

Answer 1

The correct option is A 30 years

Let Amit's age be 6x years and Amit's son's age is x years.
Four years from now,
$(6x+4)+(x+4)=43$
$7x+8=43$
$7x=35\Rightarrow x=5$
$\therefore Ami{t}^{\prime }sageis6\times 5=30years$
