Q16
A man is 24 years, older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is
A.
14 years
B.
22 years
AnswerC.
20 years
D.
18 years
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the present age of his son be X years.
So, present age of his father = X+24 (as he is 24 years older than his son)
After 2 years, father's age become (X+24+2) years and Son's age will be (X+2).
Now, according to question,
X+24+2 = 2*(X +2)
Or, X = 22 years.
Son's present age = 22 years.
