Answer:

Mr James age is 48 years and

his daughter's age is 12 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daughters age is x years then  Mr James' age is 4x years.

The difference in their ages is 36 so:

4x - x = 36

3x = 36

x = 12 years.

So Mr James age = 4x = 48 years and his daughter's age is 12 years.
