Question 59

Jeremy is 26 years younger than his father. Eight years hence his father’s age will be two
years less than twice his age. What is Jeremy’s present age (in years)?

Solution

The correct option is A.

Let the Jeremy’s age = $$x$$
then his father’s age = $$x$$+26

From question, 2($$x$$+8) - 2 = $$x$$+ 26+8

$$\Rightarrow$$ $$x$$= 34 - 14= 20
