Question
A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. What is the present age of his son?
A. 22 years
B. 20 years
C. 23 years
D. 21 years
Answer: A
Solution:
Let present age of the son = x years
Then, present age the man = (x + 24) years
Given that, in 2 years, man’s age will be twice the age of his son
=> (x+24) +2 = 2 (x+2)
=> x = 22 years
