The sum of the ages of a Mother and son is 54 years. Eight years ago, the product of their ages was 6 times the mother’s age at that time. The present age of mother and son is?
Correct Option is: C Let sons age = x years. Then mothers age = (54 – x)years.
(x-8)(54-x-8) = 6(54- x – 8) hence (x-8) = 6 so x = 14
Their ages are 40 years and 14 years.
