Correct Answer: 18 years
Solution :
Given
:
The father's present age = 52 years.
Let the son's present age be X years.
The difference between the father and son's present age –
⇒ 52 – X = X
⇒ X = 26
So, the son's present age is 26 years.
The son's age, 8 years back = 26 – 8 = 18 years.
So, 8 years back son's age was 18 years. Hence, the second option is correct.
