Answer:

75years

Explanation:

Let the Father's age be represented by 2x

Let the Son's age be represented by x

Five years ago;

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

8x - 20 = 9x - 45

- Collect like terms

-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

25 = x

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years

The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years

An amputated leg sometimes still giving a fell of leg or pain even though the leg wasn't there anymore. That happened because the nerve fiber that carries the stimulus from that area is still alive. Something might induce the remnant of the nerve to send a signal of pain but the brain interprets the location to be in the removed limb.
