Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s take a hypothetical age of father X (50).  

Let the son’s age be y.

Thus, the sum of both the current age of father & son gives a total of 68 years.

Therefore, Total age of X & Y = 68

Fathers hypothetical age X = 50

Sons age Y = 68 – 50

Y = 18 years.

Thus, X =50 years, Y = 18 years and their total age is 68 years.
