The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:5:9:13.

Question: The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:5:9:13. Find all the angles of the quadrilateral. Solution: Let the common ratio between the angles is 't' So the angles will be 3t, 5t, 9t and 13t respectively. Since the sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 Therefore, 3t + 5t + 9t + 13t = 360 ⟹ 30t = 360 ⟹ t = 12 Hence, the angles are 3t = 3*12 = 36 5t = 5*12 = 60 9t = 9*12 = 108 13t = 13*12 = 156...

A father is three times as old as his son. After twelve years,

Question: A father is three times as old as his son. After twelve years, his age will be twice as that of his son then. Find the their present ages. Solution: Let the present age of father bexyears and the present age of son beyyears. Father is three times as old as his son. Thus, we have $x=3 y$ $\Rightarrow x-3 y=0$ After 12 years, father's age will be $(x+12)$ years and son's age will be $(y+12)$ years. Thus using the given information, we have $x+12=2(y+12)$ $\Rightarrow x+12=2 y+24$ $\Right...
