Options- A. 48
- B. 12
- C. 36
- D. 44 Discuss
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
Suppose present age of Mrs. Lata = P years
Present age of son = Q years
? Their total age = 64 years
P + Q = 64 ....... (i)
According to question,
8 years ago , present age of Mrs. Lata - 8 years = 3 × ( present age of her son - 8 years )
? P ? 8 = 3 (Q ? 8)
? P ? 8 = 3Q ? 24
? P ? 3Q = ? 16 ......(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
4Q = 80 ? Q = 20
Putting the value of Q in eq.(i)
? Age of Mrs. Lata = 64 ? 20 = 44 years
