Rep Power: 2 | Re: Problem with Ages hailey - grandfather , arthur - father, clarke-son Let their ages be g, f, s (ages now) here we should rem that the diff between ages will be constant. given,When f is as old as g, their ages will be g+(g-f) f+(g-f) s+(g-f) and given that, f+(g-f)=5s there fore g=5s--->s=g/5 s+(g-f)=f-8 => s+g=2f-8 by substituting above value 6g=10f-40 i think with the given information we can draw up to this, plz if any one knows share ur ans |
