Correct Answer: ans: Robi is 40 years and his son is 16 years.
Explanation:
Let, Age of Robi be = x
Age “Robi’s son be = y
For the question(x – 8) = 4 (y – 8)
=> x – 8 = 4y – 32=> x – 4y = – 32 + 8
=> x – 4y = – 24 —————— (i)
=> x + 8 = 2y + 16
=> x – 2y = 8 ————-~-—— (ii)
Now (i) — (ii)
=> 2y = – 32
y= 16
Putting the value of y in eqn (i)
x-4 x16 =-24
=> x = -24 +64
x=40
