Solution : Let Dr. Pandey's present age be A, and Dr. Pandey's son's present age be B.
As per the given information, Dr. Pandey's age is four times the age of his son ⇒ A = 4 × B = 4B
After 10 years, Dr. Pandey's age = (A + 10), and Dr. Pandey's son's age = (B + 10) Also, after 10 years, Dr. Pandey's age will be twice his son's age, i.e., (A + 10) = 2 × (B + 10)
As, A = 4B; therefore, (A + 10) = 2 × (B + 10) can be written as – ⇒ (4B + 10) = 2 × (B + 10) ⇒ 4B + 10 = 2B + 20 ⇒ 4B – 2B = 20 – 10 ⇒ 2B = 10 ⇒ B = 10 ÷ 2 ⇒ B = 5
So, Dr. Pandey's son's present age is 5 years. Hence, the second option is correct.
