  • Question
  • A father's age is one more than 5 times of his son's age. After 3 years, the father's age would be 2 less than four times the son's age. Find the present age of the father.


  • Options
  • A. 30 years
  • B. 40 years
  • C. 31 years
  • D. 29 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 31 years 

    Explanation

    Suppose the age of son is P years
    Therefore, the age of father will be 5P + 1
    According to question ,
    ? 4( age of son + 3 ) ? 2 years = age of father + 3 years
    ? 4 ( P + 3 ) ? 2 = ( 5P + 1 ) + 3
    ? 4P + 12 ? 2 = 5P + 4
    ? 10 ? 4 = 5P ? 4P
    ? P = 6
    Age of father = 5P + 1 = 5 × 6 + 1 = 31 years
    Hence , the age of father is 31 years .
