The sum of the present age of a father and a son is 60 years. Five years before, the age of the father was four times that of son. What is the present age of the son ?
Let the father's age be x and son's age yTherefore, x + y = 60 ....................(i)Five years back, (x - 5) = 4 (y - 5)x - 4y = - 15 ......................(2)Solving (1) and (2), x = 45 and y = 15
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, the number will be divisible by 9.2 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 19The nearest multiple of 9 is 18.19 - 18 = 1.
