Answer: (C)
Explanation: Let the age of father be x and of son is y.
Then according to question,
x = 6y …..(i)
Four years hence age of son will be y + 4 and age of father will be x + 4
Then according to question,
x + 4 = 4 (y + 4)
x – 4y = 12 …..(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii) we get:
y = 6 and x = 36.
