Question

A man is 48 years old. His son is exactly three times younger than him. How old will the man’s son be when the man is 60 years old?

Answer 1

Given:

Age of a man = 48 years.

His son is exactly three times younger than him.

Required:

Age of man’s son when the man is 60 years old.

Answer:

We have given that the age of a man is 48 years and his son is exactly three times younger than him.

Therefore, the age of his son (in years) is,

$\frac{48}{3}=16$

Then after 12 years the age of a man will be 60 years
