Given :
- Mr qasim is 24 years older than his son sajid.
- After 8 years the age of mr qasim will be twice of the age of sajid.
To find :
- The age of Mr qasim now = ?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of son be x years
So, the present age of father will be x + 24 years
After eight years,
Age of son = x + 8
Age of father = x + 24 + 8
= x + 32
According to the given condition:
➮ 2(x + 8) = x + 32
➮ 2x + 16 = x + 32
➮ 2x - x = 32 - 16
➮ x = 16
As, we know that,
Present age of Mr. Qasim ➮ x + 24 years.
Substituting the values, we get,
= 16 + 24
= 40.
Therefore, The Present age of Mr. Qasim = 40 year's.

♀Solution :-
Given :
- Mr Qasim is 24 years older than his son Sajid.
- After 8 years, the age of Mr Qasim will be twice of the age of sajid.
To Find :
- The present age of Mr Qasim.
Let the present age of sajid be x years.
Then, the present age of Mr Qasim = (x+24) years
After 8 years,
- The age of sajid = (x+8) years
- The age of Mr Qasim = (x+24+8) years = (x+32) years
Atq,
➡)2(x+8)=x+32
➡2x+16=x+32
➡2x-x=32-16
➡x=16
∴ The present age of Mr Qasim is (16+24) years = 40 years.
