Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 52 years
Let the age of Kishore, his wife and his son be 'k', 'w' and 's', 8 years ago.
Sum of the age of his child and his wife = 2 × 32 = 64 years.
Sum of the age of his child and his wife after next two years = 64 + 2 + 2 = 68.
The sum of the age of Kishore, his wife and his son = 3 × 38
k + 2 + 68 = 114
k = 44 years.
Present age of kishore = 44 + 8 = 52 years.
