Q. 48 One year ago a man was 7 times as old as his son. Now his age is equal to the square of his son’s age.
The present age of the man is :
A. 36 Years
B. 49 Years
C. 64 Years
D. None of the above
Answer: A
Explanation: Let the present age of man is ‘m’ and the present age of son is ‘s’
One year ago a man was 7 times as old as his son,
m – 1 = 7(s – 1)
m = 7s – 6………..(1)
Present age of the man is equal to the square of his son’s present age,
m = s2 …….(2)
Substitute equation (2) in equation (1)
s2 = 7s – 6 (or)
s2 – 7s + 6 = 0
After solving we get, s = 6 (or) 1 (‘1’ does not fit in the equation. Hence s = 6)
Son’s age = 6 and fathers age = 36
Hence, option A. is the correct answer.
