The sum of the ages of a mother a father and their son is 100 years each of their ages is a multiple of 10 and the mother was 30 years old when her son was born how old is the son?
If she was 30 when her son was born, then the minimum age she can be is 40 because the minimum age the kid can be is 10. That would make the father 50 because 40 + 10=50. 50+50=100.

You are four times older than your son In twenty years of time your age will be twice as your son ' s age Calculate my son ' s age?
This can be written as an equationOn the one side we have:4s which means 4 x the age of my son.This is the same as2s+20 which means in 20 years I will be 2 x the age of my son.Since I and my son do not change, both statements must be true so:4s = 2s+20We need to find s, so rearrange to get s on one side on its own:4s - 2s = 202s = 20s = 20 / 2s = 10My son is 10 years old.To check this is correct use the answer in both the original statements to see if they are still true.4 x 10 = 40 years. I am 40 years old.in 20 years my son will be 30 and I will be 60. I will then be twice as old as my son.
