  • 114 years
  • 222 years
  • 320 years
  • 418 years
Answer:- 1

Solution:
Let the present age of his son be X years. So, present age of his father = X+24 (as he is 24 years older than his son) After 2 years, father's age become (X+24+2) years and Son's age will be (X+2).
Now, according to question,
X+24+2 = 2*(X +2)
Or, X = 22 years.
Son's present age = 22 years.

09. A lad was asked his age by his friend . The lad said, "The number you get when you subtract 25 times my age from twice the square of my age will be thrice your age". If the friend's age is 14, then the age of the lad is :

  • 121
  • 228
  • 314
  • 425
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Option Checking :
Considering option 3,
2 *(14)2 - 25*14 = 3*14.

Alternatively :

Let the age of the lad be x then,
2x2 -25x = 42.
2x2 -25x-42 = 0.
Either solve the quadratic equation or put the options to get the value. Option 3 is correct.
