    Question

    A.

    70 years

    B.

    75 years

    C.

    80 years

    D.

    85 years

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    The age of the father is 4 times of his son.
    5 years ago, the age of the father was 5 times of his son.
    Solution:
    Let 4x = current age of the father, x = current age of the son
    5 years ago, the age of the father was 5 times of his son.
    4x – 5 = 5(x – 5)
    4x – 5 = 5x – 25
    x = 20
    The current age of the Father = 4(20) = 80 years.
