The father's age is 6 times his son's age. 4yr hence, the age of the father will be four times his son's age. The present ages in years of the son and father are, respectively
4 and 24
4 and 24
6 and 36
3 and 24
C.
6 and 36
Let present age grow son's age = x yr
Then, 6x + 4 = 4(x + 4)
Then present age of father = 6x yr
⇒ 2x = 12
x = 6yr
Son's age = 6yr
Father's age = 6 x 6 = 36yr
