Let x be fathers present age and y be son present age.
5 yrs ago, the age of father and son be x-5 & y-5.
Then,
x-5+y-5=40
x+y-10=40
x+y=50
y=50-x ———–> (1)
ratio between father and son in present age
x:y=4:1
x/y=4/1
x=4y
Apply eq (1) ,
x=4(50-x)
x=200-4x
x+4x=200
5x=200
x=200/5
x=40,,
=> The present age of father is 40.

Actual price is RS.60 and (plus)he got profit of 10%. So 60+ 10%(60) = 66

d
HCF= 2
LCM = 2*5*7 = 70

X= pigeon
Y= hares
X+Y= 200
2x+4y=580
By solving y= 90
X=110
So Hares= 90

2/3 * 15 miles = 10 miles then

time for 10 miles travel is t1 = 10/40 = 1/4

then remaning distance is 5 miles

time for 5 miles travel is t2 = 5/60 = 1/12

t1+ t2= 1/3 in seconds * 60 = 20 min

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

x/y =5/7…………………………..(1)
(x-25)/(y-25)=35/39
59x=35y+600
dividing b.t.s by y and substituting (x/y) value from equation (1)
y=84
Now, substitue y value in equation (1)
x = 60

cannot be determined .
