Let the present age of the father be 'x' and that of the son be 'y'. Then x/y = 8/3∴ 3x = 8y Further, x + 12/y + 12 = 2/1 ∴ x + 12 = 2y + 24 ∴ x - 2y = 12 ......(ii)From eqn (i) and (ii), x = 48, y = 18 ∴ sum = 66 yrs.
Original mixture = 5 litre; Milk = 3.5 litre;Water = 1.5 litre Let x litre of milk be added so thatthe mixture becomes (x + 5) litres and the percentage of water becomes 5%So, 1.5 = (x + 5) x 5/10030 = x + 5∴ x = 25 litre
