Question 16
Back to Exercise
A father's age is his son's age with the digits reversed. Their ages add up to 99 and differ by 27. How old is the father?
- A 36 years
- B 72 years
- C 54 years
- D 63 years Correct
Correct Answer: Option D
Father = 10a + b, son = 10b + a
Sum: 11(a + b) = 99 → a + b = 9
Difference: 9(a − b) = 27 → a − b = 3
a = 6, b = 3 → father 63, son 36
Answer: 63 years
