Question

A man is 4 times as old as his son. After 16 years, he will be twice as old as his son. Find the age of son.
A) 32 Years
B) 4 Years
C) 42 Years
D) 8 Years

Answer 1

Let the age of son = x years.

Then father age = 4x

Age after 16 years

Father = (4x+16) years.

Son = (x+16).

A. T. Q,

4x+16 = 2(x+16)

4x+16 = 2x+32

2x = 16

X = 8 years.

Answer 2

8 years because after 16 years the son will be 24 years old and the father will be 48 years old
