Answer:Son's age =2.5 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let the age of Kamla at marriage be represented as x
Age after five years = x+5
Given that today his age is 1 1/4 times his age at marriage, Our equation to express his age at marriage will be
x+ 5= (5/4)x
Multiplying 4 by both sides gives
4(x+5) = (5/4 x 4 )x
4x+20 = 5x
20=5x-4x
x= 20 years at Marriage
Therefore his present age = 20+5= 25
Step 2
Son' s age = 1/10 times his present age
Son's age = 1/10 x 25= 2.5 years old
