• sol:- 22 .
  s=x,m=x+24 .
  2(x+2)=x+24+2-------> after 2 yrs.

• Let the present age of Son be X
  man age will be = 24+x
  after two years son age = X+2
  man age = 24+X+2=26+X
  A/Q
  X+26=2(X+2)
  X+26=2X+4
  26-4=X
  X=22 Years

• ans:20
  man=24+x
  son=x
  in 2 years,(24+x)=2(x+2)
  24-4=x
  20=x
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(5)
• let son's age x
  2(x+2)= x+26
  x= 22

• 5+1+2=8
  then 8+1+0=9
  then 9+2+3=14
  
  similiarly 14+1+3=18
  
  18 will be the next term

• let present age of man=m and son=s,
  now 1st condition,
  m = s+24........(1)
  after two yrs
  m+2 = 2(s+2)
  from (1)...(s+24)+2 = 2s+4
  s=22 yrs..
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• man=son+24
  man+2=2(son+2)
  by solving above two equations
  son's age=22
  
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years.
  
  (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
  
  x + 26 = 2x + 4
  
  x = 22
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let the age of the father is x and age of son is y
  now according to question
  x-y=24-------(1)
  and (x+2)= 2(y+2)
  x-2y=2------(2)
  after solving these two equation we find
  x=46
  and y=22
  so 22 is the right ans which is the age of the son
  
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let men as m and son as s;
  now our first equation is m=s+24
  and second is m+2 = 2(s+2)
  so we get 22
