Answer : 2. "Father = 40; Son =24"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24 Explanation: Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]We get 6P = 10Q,Substitute value for Q,6P = 10(64 - P),Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
