A woman is 28 years older than her son. In three years, her age will be twice the age of her son. Find the present age of the son.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 25 years.
Let, W = Women and S = Son
According to the question,
A woman is 28 years older than her son
⇒ W = 28 + S ------ (1)
In three years, her age will be twice the age of her son
⇒ W + 3 = 2(S + 3)
⇒ W + 3 = 2S + 6 --------- (2)
On Solving Eq(1) and Eq(2) :
⇒ S = 25 years
So, The present age of the son is 25 years
