  • Question
  • The present age of father is 34 years more than that of his son. 12 years ago, father's age was 18 times the age of his son. The present age of son in years is :


  • Options
  • A. 12 years
  • B. 14 years
  • C. 16 years
  • D. 18 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 14 years 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the present ages of son be Y then his father present age will be Y + 34 years. then
    12 years ago, father's age = Y + 34 -12
    12 years ago, Son's age = Y - 12
    Now according to question,
    12 years ago, father's age was 18 times the age of his son. then
    18( Y - 12 ) = Y + 34 - 12
    ? 18Y - 216 = Y + 22
    ? 17Y = 238
    ? Y = 14
    Hence, present age of his son = 14 years.
