A mother told her son, “I was of your current age when you were born.” If the son was 16 five years ago, what is the current age of the mother?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 42 years.
5 years ago Son's age = 16 years
Son's present age = 16 + 5 = 21 years
A.T.Q,
Mother's age when the son was born (21 years ago) = Present age of son
Mother's age 21 years ago = 21 years
Mother's present age = 21 + 21 = 42 years
