My son was 12 when I was 3 times his age. Now, I am 45. How old was my son 5 years ago? |

Answer» Age of Son = 12 YEARS Age of mother = 3 times of son's age To find mother's age we'll multiply 3 with son's age i.e 12 So, MOTHERS age = 3 × 12 = 36 years Difference between their ages = 36 - 12 = 24 years. So, there will be 24 years of age difference between mother and son always. Mother's age now(given) = 45 Son's age now = 45 - 24 = 21 Son's age 5 years ago = 21 - 5 = 16 So, son's age 5 years before was 16 years. |
