Let P's age at the time of marriage be x .
P's current age =x+15
According to the problem, x+15=8∕5×x
Current age of P's son =1∕5×(x+15)
Calculation:
Let P's age at the time of marriage be x .
Current age of P=x+15
‌x+15=8∕5×x
‌⇒x+15=8x∕5
‌⇒5(x+15)=8x
‌⇒5x+75=8x
‌⇒75=8x−5x
‌⇒75=3x
‌⇒x=75∕3=25
P's current age =25+15=40
Current age of P's son =1∕5×40=8
Age of P's son 4 years ago =8−4=4
Age of P at that time (4 years ago) =40−4=36
Fraction of P's age =4∕36=1∕9
