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.
