Question 1
Naresh is 3 times as old as his son Mahesh. After 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 52. How old is Mahesh now?
Let son's age = x, then father's age = 3x
After 8 years: (3x+8) + (x+8) = 52
(3+1)x + 16 = 52
(4)x = 36
x = 9
After 8 years: (3x+8) + (x+8) = 52
(3+1)x + 16 = 52
(4)x = 36
x = 9
