Correct Answer: 52 years, and 87 years
Solution : Let the present age of Jay be A years, and his father's present age be B years. Their age difference is 35 years. ⇒ B – A = 35 ⇒ B = 35 + A After 5 years, Jay's age = (A + 5) years, and his father's age = (B + 5) years. ⇒ (A + 5) + (B + 5) = 125 ⇒ A + B + 10 = 125 ⇒ A + B = 115
Now, substitute the value of B from the equation, B = 35 + A ⇒ A + 35 + A = 115 ⇒ 2A + 35 = 115 ⇒ 2A = 115 – 35 ⇒ 2A = 80 ⇒ A = 80 ÷ 2 ⇒ A = 40 years If A = 40, then B = 35 + A ⇒ B = 35 + 40 = 75 years
So, after 12 years, Jay's age = 40 + 12 = 52 years, and his father's age = 75 + 12 = 87 years. Hence, the second option is correct.
