Answer:

Let Age of son be - 'x'

and age of man be - '4x'

Now,

4x+16 = 2(x+16)

=> 4x+16= 2x+32

=> 4x-2x= 32-16

=> 2x = 16

So, x= 16/2 = 8

Now,

Age of son = x = 8

and Age of man is = 4x = 4×8 = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

let son's age be x years

so man's age = 4x

now , after 16 years their ages will be -

man's age = 4x + 16

son's age = x + 16

Given that after 16 years man's age wil be 2 times his son's age , so , 4x + 16 = 2(x + 16)

4x + 16 = 2x + 32

2x = 16

x = 8

therefore son's age = 8

man's age = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32
