$\huge{\underline{\underline{\red{\mathfrak{AnSwEr :}}}}}$

$\small{\underline{\blue{\sf{Given :}}}}$

Stephen is 18 years old now.

After, 14 years she will be half of his parents age.

$\rule{200}{1}$

$\small{\underline{\green{\sf{Solution :}}}}$

As, it is given she is currently 18 years old.

(After 14 years)

Her age will be :

Age after 14 years = 18 + 14

Age after 14 years = 32

Now, A. T. Q

His father age after 14 years = 32 * 2

His father age after 14 years = 64.

$\rule{150}{2}$

Now,

His father current age = 64 - 14

His father current age = 50 years.
