Let son's age be x
father's age =x+26
after 3 years ,
now son's age=x+3 ,
father's age=x+26+3=x+29
x+3=1/3 (x+29)
x+3=(1x+29)/3
3x+9=x+29
2x=20
x=20/2
x=10
So, son's present age is 10 years
HOPE IT'S HELPFUL!!!!

okkkk
hmm..
But this question is given with options and is not asked to show the calculation part ..so we should solve in such a manner that it will b time saving and easier...with correct answer
time saving is important but correct answer is more important .. in this answer u got it right but maybe u make a mistake in another question ... so whats the use of saving time if u get wrong answer in some other question ?
If we would understood a question then there 'll b no mistakes because we 'll be able to know where to two variables and where a single variable
we can't decide where two variables and where one ... its a rule ...if u dont follow u dont get correct answers then ... so instead of doing wrong .. lets approch the right one ...
okkkk......
hmm
ur also correct
☺☺☺☺

hi Arnav ,
let father's age be x
let sons age be y
according to the question
x - y = 26 .....1
and also, three years later
x +3=(y+3)3
x +3= 3y+ 9
x= 3y+6
putting it in .....1
3y+6-y=26
2y=26-6
2y=20
y=10
so sons age is 10 year
hope it helps !!
