उत्तर
Let the present age (in year) of father and his two children be x, y and z years, respectively.
Now by given condition,
x = 2(y + z) ......(i)
And after 20 years,
(x + 20) = (y + 20) + (z + 20)
⇒ y + z + 40 = x + 20
⇒ y + z = x – 20
On putting the value of (y + z) in equation (i), we get the present age of father
x = 2(x – 20)
∴ x = 2x – 40
⇒ x = 40
Hence, the father’s age is 40 years.

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` .....(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ......(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
