Answer :-

• The present age of the son is 26 years.

Given :-

• If 25 is added to the present age of the son, we get the present age of the father.
• The present age of the father is 51 years.

To find :-

• The present age of the son.

Step-by-step explanation :-

Let the present age of the son be x.

25 added to his preesent age = x + 25.

It is given that when we add 25 to the present age of the son, we will get the present age of the father.

The present age of the father is 51 years.

So, we see that :-

$\bf \Rightarrow x + 25 = 51$

$\bf \Rightarrow x = 51 - 25$

$\bf \Rightarrow x = 26.$

Therefore, the present age of the son is 26 years.
