Answer 2

Explanation:

Let x be father's age and y be the son's age

we have x+y = 74

x= 74-y ....1

According to the question,

x+8= 2y

(74-y)+8=2y

74+8=2y+y

y= 82/3= 27.33

father's age= 74-27.33= 46.67

The question mentions the son's 'present age', that's why i can't add 8 years on son's age.
