let the age of man be x and of son y
according to the question(A.T.Q) x=4y
Now after 16 years the age of father will be x+16 and that of son will be y+16
A.T.Q x+16=2(y+16)
x+16=2y+32
x=2y+16
2y=16
y=8
taking back the value of y in first equation we get
x=4*8=32
thus present age of father is 32 and son is 8
