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.
