A man’s current age is \(\frac25\) of the age of his father. After 8 years, he will be \(\frac12\) of the age of his father. What is the age of father at now ?
Correct Answer: Option B
Let, father’s current age is A years.
Then, Man’s current age = \(\left[\left(\frac25\times A\right)\right]\) years
\(\left[\left(\frac25\times A\right)\right]\) +8 =\(\left(\frac12\right)\left(A+8\right)\)
2(2A+40) = 5(A+8)
A = 40
