After 8 years father will be thrice as old as son.

To Find: The present age (in years) of the son is

A) 18

B) 16

C) 15

D) 13​

Solution:

Sum of the ages of father and son is 68.

Son age  = S years

Father age = 68 - S  years

After 8 years Son = S + 8

After 8 years father = 68 - S + 8  = 76 - S

After 8 years father will be thrice as old as son.

=> 76 - S = 3(S + 8)

=> 76 - S = 3S + 24

=> 4S  = 52

=> S = 13

present age (in years) of the son is  13 Years
