The age of a man is 4 times that of his son. Five years ago, the man was nine times as old as his son was at that time. The present age of the man is ?
-
- 24 years
- 32 years
- 40 years
- 44 years
Correct Option: B
Let the son's be x years, then father's age = 4x years
∴ (4x - 5) = 9(x - 5)
⇒ 5x = 40
⇒ x = 8
∴ Present age of the man = 32 years
