Ananta was 32 years old at the time of the child's birth. After 5 years, Ananta will triple the age of his son. So how old are Ananta and his son today? Correct Answer 43, 11 years

Given:

Ananta was 32 years old at the time of the child's birth

Calculation:

Let be assume the present age of the child is X

⇒ The present age of Anantha = X + 32

⇒ (X + 32 + 5) = 3 × (X + 5)

⇒ X + 37 = 3X + 15

⇒ 2X = 22

⇒ X = 11

⇒ The age of anantha = X + 32 = 11 + 32 = 43

∴ The required result will be 43, 11 years.
