Answer:

Man is 46 years old and son is 22 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A man = 24 years older than his son

In two years = his age will be twice the age of his son

To find :

Their present ages

Solution :

Let the present ages be -

  • Son as x
  • Man as (x + 24)

After 2 years -

  • Son = (x + 2)
  • Man = (x + 24) + 2

➙(x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)

➙ x + 26 = 2x + 4

➙ 2x - x = 26 - 4

➙ x = 22

Son is 22 years old.

Father's Age =

➙ (x + 24)

➙ (22 + 24)

➙ 46

Father = 46 years old

\therefore Man is 46 years old and son is 22 years old.
