Answer 1

Answer:

11 is the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let:

• Damodar's age be x
• His son's age will be y

Solution:

• Damodar's age = 26 + Son's age

⇒ x = 26 + y ----- [Equation 1]

• After 4 years,

Damodar's age = (x + 4)

Son's age = (y + 4)

According to the question,

(x + 4) = 2(y + 4)

⇒ x + 4 = 2y + 8

⇒ (26 + y) + 4 = 2y + 8. {From Equation 1}

⇒ 26 + y + 4 = 2y + 8

⇒ 26 + y = 2y + 8 - 4

⇒ 26 + y = 2y + 4

⇒ 26 - 4 = 2y - y

⇒ y = 22

∴ Son's present age = 22 years
