  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given :

    Ameen’s age is one fifth of his father’s age after 6 years his age will be one third of his father’s age.

    To find:

    How old are they now ?

    Solution :

    Let the present age of Ameen’s Father’s age be X years

    Then the present age of Ameen

    = 1/5th of his father’s age

    = (1/5) of X

    => (1×X)/5

    => X/5 years

    Ameen’s age = X/5 years

    After 6 years :

    His father’s age = (X+6) years

    Ameen’s age = (X/5)+6

    => (X+30)/5 years

    Given that

    After 6 years his age will be one third of his father’s age

    => (X+30)/5 = (1/3)×(X+6)

    => (X+30)/5 = (X+6)/3

    On applying cross multiplication then

    => 5(X+6) = 3(X+30)

    => 5X+30 = 3X+90

    => 5X – 3X = 90 – 30

    => 2X = 60

    => X = 60/2

    => X = 30 years

    His father’s age = 30 years

    Ameen’s age = (1/5)×30

    = 30/5

    = 6 years

    Answer:

    The present age of Ameen = 6 years

    The present age of his father = 30 years

    Check :

    The present age of Ameen = 6 years

    The present age of his father = 30 years

    => 30×(1/5)

    = 30/5

    = 6 years

    Ameen’s age is one fifth of his father’s age

    and After 6 years

    Their ages will be 12 years and 36 years

    =>36 ×1/3 = 36/3 = 12 years

    after 6 years his age will be one third of his father’s age.

    Verified the given relations in the given problem.

  2. Answer:

    Now, age of Raja is 15th the age of his father, so Raja’s age will be 305=6 years. Hence, age of Raja = 6 years and age of Raja’s father = 30 years. Hence, required ages will be 6 years and 6×5=30 years.
