  • Options
  • A. 48 years
  • B. 50 years
  • C. 54 years
  • D. 60 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 54 years 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the present age of son be x then his father present age will be 3x.
    According to question,
    Six years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 5 : 2 respectively
    (3x + 6)/(x+6) = 5/2
    ? (3x + 6)2 = 5(x+6)
    ? 6x + 12 = 5x + 30
    ? x = 18
    Hence, age of Sanyal = 3 x 18 = 54 years
