Number System
The sum of the ages of a son and father is 65 years. After 5 years the age of father will be double of the age of son. What is the age of son ?
Let the age of the son be x and the age of the father be y.Therefore, x + y = 65 ..........(i)or, 2 x (x + 5) = (y + 5)or, 2x + 10 = y + 5or, 2x - y = 5 ...................(ii)From equations (i) and (ii), x = 20, y = 45
Let the no. be 10x + y.No. formed by the interchange of digits = 10y + xWe have y - x = 2 .........(i)y + x = 14 .........(ii)Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 6, and y = 8∴ the no. is 68.
