[Q] A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. What is the present age of his son?
(a) 55
(b) 33
(c) 22
(d) 44

Solution

Answer    (c)
Explanation
----
Let the present age of the son = x years
Then present age the man = (x+24) years

Given that in 2 years, man's age will be twice the age of his son
=> (x+24) +2 = 2(x+2)
=> x = 22
