Let the present age of son = x years
then present age of man will be x+24 years
After 2 years,
Age of son = x+2 years and age of man= x + 24 + 2 yrs =x + 26 years
According to given condition, x+26 = 2(x+2)
x + 26= 2x + 4
x = 22 present age of his son =22 years and his father's present age=x+24= 46years
