  • Question
  • A father said to his son, ''I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth''. If the father's age is 52 years now, then the son's age 8 years back was


  • Options
  • A. 10 years
  • B. 18 years
  • C. 12 years
  • D. 20 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 18 years 

    Explanation

    Suppose present age of son = P years
    Present age of father = 52 years
    According to question,
    Father's age at son's birth = son's present age
    ? 52 ? P = P
    P + P = 52 years
    ? 2P = 52
    ? P = 26 years
    Son's age 8 years back = present age of son - 8 years = 26 ? 8 = 18 years
