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 his son is:

A. 14 years

B. 18 years

C. 20 years

D. 22 years

E. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.
∴ (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
x + 26 = 2x + 4
x = 22
