  • Question

  • 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.
