A) 14 years
B) 38 years
C) 32 years
D) 34 years
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Let present age of Mohit be x years Two years ago, his age = (x - 2) years So, his son's age\[=\left( \frac{x-2}{3} \right)\] years So, present age of son\[=\left( \frac{x-2}{3}+2 \right)\]years After 2 years, son's age\[=\left( \frac{x-2}{3}+2+2 \right)\]years and that of Mohit\[=(x+2)\]years So, according to question, we have \[2(x+2)=5\left( \frac{x-2}{3}+2+2 \right)\] \[\Rightarrow 2x+4=\frac{5x-10}{3}+20\] \[\Rightarrow 2x-\left( \frac{5x-10}{3} \right)=20-4\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{6x-5x+10}{3}=16\Rightarrow x+10=48\] \[\Rightarrow x=48-10=38years\] \[\therefore \] Present age of Mohit = 38 years.You need to login to perform this action.
