Answer 1

Answer:

2o years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of son=x years

Then the present age of father=60-x years

Their age 6 years age:-

Son=x-6

Father=54-x

Now,

A.T.Q,

54 – x = 5(x – 6)  

54 – x = 5x – 30

6x = 84

x=14 years

The son’s age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = (14 + 6) = 20 years.

Hence the correct option is [C] 20 years.
