  1. A25.5 yearsCorrect
  2. B16.5 years
  3. C20.5 years
  4. D24.6 years

Answer: A. 25.5 years

Explanation

Given: The ratio of the present age of the father to that of his son = F : S = 2 : 1. Calculation: Let the present age of the father (F) = 2x the present age of son (S) = x According to the question: ⇒ (2x + 8.5)/(x + 8.5) = 7/4 ⇒ 8x + 34 = 7x + 59.5 ⇒ 8x - 7x = 59.5 - 34 ⇒ x = 25.5 The answer is 25.5 years.
