The present age of Harish is 8 times the sum of the ages of his two sons at present. After 8 years, his age will be 2 times the sum of the ages of his two sons. The present age of Harish (in years) is:

32

The correct answer is Option (2) → 32

                           Harish             Sons

Present age  =        8x         :        x

After 8 years =  (8x + 8)  =  2(x + 8 + 8)        ( Extra +8 for second son)

8x + 8 = 2x + 32

6x = 24

x = 4

so the present age of harish = 8x = 32 years.
