Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Let the present age of Son = x years
And the father's age = 3x + 3
According to the question,
2 (x + 3) + 10 = 3x + 3 + 3
2x + 6 + 10 = 3x + 6
2x + 16 = 3x + 6
x = 10 years
Father's age
= 3 × 10 + 3 = 33 years
And the father's age = 3x + 3
According to the question,
2 (x + 3) + 10 = 3x + 3 + 3
2x + 6 + 10 = 3x + 6
2x + 16 = 3x + 6
x = 10 years
Father's age
= 3 × 10 + 3 = 33 years
