Kamal got married 5 years ago. Today his age is 1 1/4 times his age at the time of marriage. His sons age is 1/10 times his present age. What is hisson's age ?

Son's age =2.5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the  age of Kamla at marriage be represented as  x

Age after five  years = x+5

Given that today his  age is 1 1/4  times his age at marriage, Our equation to express his age  at marriage will be

x+ 5= (5/4)x

Multiplying 4 by both sides gives

4(x+5) = (5/4 x 4 )x

4x+20 = 5x

20=5x-4x

x= 20 years at Marriage

Therefore his present age = 20+5= 25

Step 2

Son' s age = 1/10 times his present age

Son's age = 1/10 x 25= 2.5 years old
