and the obtained result is divided by 2, then the present age of his nephew is obtained. If the present age of his nephew is 5 years less than the present age of A’s son who is 16 years old, then find the present age of A.Solution
Let the Present age of A be ‘x’ years Present age of his nephew = 16 – 5 = 11 years Therefore, {(x – 14)/2} = 11 Or, x – 14 = 22 Or, x = 36 Therefore, present age of A = 36 years
