    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
