Answer 1

Answer

C) 22 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the son's age be x,

the man's age = x + 24

After 2 years,

the son's age = x+2

the man's age = x+26

x+26 = 2(x+2)

or, x + 26 = 2x+4

or, 2x-x = 26-4

therefore, x = 22 years

Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer is (c) 22years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son be x

The age of man would be x+24

After two years, age of son=x+2

After two years, age of father= 2(x+2)=x+24+2

=2x+4=x+26

=2x-x=26-4

=x=22

Hence the age of son is 22years..
