The age of a father 4 years ago was 8 times the age of his son. At present, the age of the father is 4 times the age of his son. Find the age of son .
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the present age of son be x
Present age of father will be 4x
According to question,
\(\frac{x - 4}{4x-4}\) = \(\frac{1}{8}\)
8x - 32 = 4x - 4
4x = 28
x= 7 years
So, age of son is 7 years.
