Question

A father said to his son, “I was as old as you are when I became your father.” If the current age of the father is 52 years, the age of the son after 10 years will be ___.

A.

26 years

B.

36 years

C.

20 years

D.

40 years

Correct option is B


Solution:
Let the present age of the son be = x years Present age of the father = 52 years
According to the statement: Father’s age when son was born = Son’s present age
So, 52 − x = x
2x = 52 x = 26
So, son’s present age = 26 years
After 10 years, son’s age = 26 + 10 = 36 years
Correct answer:
(b) 36 years
