SSC MTS - 17 Feb 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q40

Father's age 1 year ago from present was 5 times of the age of his son 7 years ago from present. Son's age after 3 years from present is 22 years. What is the sum of present ages of father and son?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Son’s present age = 22 − 3 = 19 years

7 years ago = 19 − 7 = 12

Father’s age 1 year ago = 5 × 12 = 60 ⇒ present age = 61

Sum = 61 + 19 = 80 years

Correct Answer: 80 years
