Age of father is 13 times the age of his son. It will be only five times after four years. Find the present age of the father?
Answer: 26 years
Explanation
Let's denote the son's current age as x. Then the father's current age is 13x.
After 4 years:
Son's age = x + 4
Father's age = 13x + 4
According to the problem, after 4 years, the father's age will be 5 times the son's age:
13x + 4 = 5(x + 4)
13x + 4 = 5x + 20
8x = 16
x = 2
So, the father's current age is 13x = 13 * 2 = 26.
