How old is the father today? (Q98)

The difference between a father’s age and the sum of his children’s ages decreases by 3 each year. The total of their current ages is 65. And 3 years later, the father’s age equals the sum of his children’s ages.

How old is the father today?

Answer:

If diference beween age of father and sum of kids ages decreases 3 each year, then father has 4 kids.

3 Years later, father will get 3 years and kids will get 4+3=12 years and sum of their ages will be 65+15=80.

And if 3 years later, the father’s age equals the sum of his children’s ages, then 3 years later father’s age will be 80/2=40.

SO today father is 40-3=37 years old.

Answer is 37.
