  • B. 24 years
  • C. 24 years
  • D. 24 years

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let, Son current age = P

      Man current age = 3P

According to Question, (P+10)+(3P+10) = 76

                                             4P = 76-20 = 56

                                                P = 14

now, Son current age = 14 years

      Man current age = 42 years

So, when his son was born, the man age was = 42-14 = 28 years (Ans)
