Result: 1 Mark
Let the present age of Gaurav be x.
According to question, In 13 years, Gaurav' age =24
⇒x+13=24
⇒x=11
The expression for Gaurav's age for 20 years from now =x+20
After 20 years, Gaurav's age will be:
x+20
11+20=31years
Since Gaurav's present age is 11 years
∴ After 20 years father's age will be = 6(11)−3=66−3=63
Hence, father's present age = 63−20=43years
