Hey There!!!
Let us assume that
Present age of son = x
Present age of father = y
We are given that Father's age is six times that of son's age.
So,
y = 6x -----(1)
Four Years Later,
Age of Son = x+4
Age of Father = y+4
It is given that this age of father is four times that of son.
So we have:
(y+4)=4 (x+4)
=> y+4=4x+16
=> y = 4x + 12
Let us substitute y=6x from(1)
=> 6x = 4x + 12
=> 2x = 12
=> x = 6
Since y = 6x, we have y = 36
Thus, we have:
Present Age of Son = x = 6 years
Present Age of Father = y = 36 years
So, Your answer is Option C.
Hope it helps
