  • Question
  • A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is:


  • Options
  • A. 14 years
  • B. 18 years
  • C. 20 years
  • D. 22 years

  • Correct Answer
  • 22 years 

    Explanation
    Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.

    ∴ (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)

    x + 26 = 2x + 4

    x = 22.
