Correct Answer: 50 years
Solution : Let the present age of the elder son be y years, then the father's present age will be 2y years. Ten years later, the father's age = 2y + 10, and that is 3 times that of the younger son. So, 10 years later, the younger son's age is $\frac{2y+10}{3}$. The age difference between the two sons is 15 years. ⇒ $(y+10)-(\frac{2y+10}{3})=15$ ⇒ $y-(\frac{2y+10}{3})=5$ Now, multiply the given equation by 3 – ⇒ 3y – (2y + 10) = 15 ⇒ 3y – 2y – 10 = 15 ⇒ y = 15 + 10 = 25 The age of the father is 25 × 2 = 50 years.
So, the age of the father is 50 years. Hence, the third option is correct.
