The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Five years ago, father's age was four times the age of the son. So now the son's age will be -

A 15 years
B 5 years
C 20 years
D 10 years

Correct Answer: 15 years

Let, the son's current age = x years ∴ father's current age = (60 - x) ATQ, (60 - x) - 5 = 4(x - 5) ⇒60 - x - 5 = 4x - 20⇒4x + x = 60 + 20 - 5⇒5x = 75⇒x = 755.'. x  = 15 The son's current age  =  15 years
