age of raju= x                                                                                                                                                                        age of rohit=( x+24)

after two years Rohit will twice the age of Raju.so                                                                                                         age of raju= x + 2                                                                                                                                                                 age of rohit= (x + 24) + 2 = twice rajus age=2x                                                                                               

                  (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)                                                                                                                                                      x + 26 = 2x + 4                                                                                                                                                                26 - 4 = 2x - x                                                                                                                                                                        22 = x

rajus age = x = 22                                                                                                                                                           rohits age = x + 24 = 22 + 24 =46                                                                                                                               

after 2 years ........        

rajus age = x + 2 =22+2 =24                                                                                                                                           rohits age = (x + 24)+2 = 46+2 =48

rohits age = twice rajus age                                                                                                                                                       48 = 2 x 24                                                                                                                                                                       48 = 48

rajus present age = 24                                                                                                                                                   rohits present age = 48

HOPE THIS HELPED !!!!!

hello frnd,

your solution is as follows:
Let the son's present age be x years. Then, Rohit's present age = (x + 24) years
=> (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
=> x + 26 = 2x + 4
So, x = 22(son)
and Rohit's present age=x+24=22+24=66.

i hope it helps u!!☺☺
