A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of the son is:

One Answer on this Question

1. Let the age of the man be x
   Then age of his son becomes (x−24)

   2 years later from now,

   Age of man will be = x+2
   and age of his son will be =(x−24+2)=x−22

   According to question,

   2(x−22)=x+2

   i.e., 2x−44=x+2

   i.e., x=46

   Therefore ,
   Present age of man=46 years
   And present age of his son =46−24=22 years
