Eight years hence, the age of the man will be 4 years more than three times the age of his son. Find the present age.
Question no43. , ML Aggarwal, chapter 5, exercise 5.5, quadratic equation in one variable, ICSE board,
Solution:
Let the present age of the son = x years
then, the present age of the man = 2x² years.
8 years hence,
The age of son will be = (x + 8) years and the
age of man = (2x² + 8) years
According to the problem,
