The problem states that the father's age is three times more than Irfan's age. This can be expressed as: 𝐹=𝐼+3𝐼=4𝐼 The sum of their ages is equal to the perfect square of 8: 𝐼+𝐹=8² The perfect square of 8 is 8×8=64. Therefore: 𝐼+𝐹=64 Substitute the expression for the father's age from the first equation (𝐹=4𝐼) into the second equation: 𝐼+4𝐼=64 Combine the terms on the left side: 5𝐼=64 Divide both sides by 5 to solve for 𝐼: 𝐼=64/5 𝐼=12.8 Answer: Based on the problem's conditions, the age of Irfan would be 12.8 years old.
