A father’s age at the time of the birth of his son is the same as the present age of the son. If the age of the son was 15 years five years ago, then what is the current age of the father?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
So Let,
--> The present age of father be 'F'
--> The present age of son be 'S'
=> F - S = S
=> F = S +S
=> F = 2 x S
Now, If the age of the son was 15 years five years ago,
=> S-5 =15
= S = 20 years.
Then, F = 2 × 20
--> F = 40 years
Thus, the current age of the father is 40 years.
