Amit is 24 years older than his son. after 11 years, he will be thrice the age of his son. find the age of the son two years from now.

Answer 1

Let the present age of his son be X years.

So, present age of his father = X+24 (as he is 24 years older than his son)

After 2 years, father's age become (X+24+2) years and Son's age will be (X+2).

Now, according to question,

X+24+2 = 2*(X +2)

Or, X = 22 years.

Son's present age = 22 years.
