3 years ago, the sum of the ages of a father and his son was 40 yeas. After 2 years, the sum of their ages will be

  • A. 46 years
  • B. 40 years
  • C. 50 years
  • D. 60 years

Step-by-step solution

Let current ages be F (father) and S (son). Three years ago: (F-3)+(S-3)=40 => F+S=46. After 2 years: (F+2)+(S+2)=F+S+4=46+4=50.
