1. 42 years

2. 48 years 3. 50 years 4. 60 years 5. 45 years

Correct Option: 3 Let the present ages of father and son be 'f' years and 's' years respectively. Age of father when son was born = f - s Given, f - s = 30 Age of father when son was 5 years old = f - s + 5 So, s + 15 = f - s + 5 => s + 15 = 35 => s = 20 => f = 30 + 20 = 50 ===========================
