Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Given: Raj will be 32 years old in eight years.
Step 1: Find Raj's present age: Raj's present age = 32 − 8 = 24.
Step 2: Find father's present age: In 4 years Raj = 24 + 4 = 28, father then = 28 × 2 = 56, so father now = 56 − 4 = 52.
Step 3: Find mother's present age: Two years ago Raj = 24 − 2 = 22, mother then = 22 × 2 = 44, so mother now = 44 + 2 = 46.
Answer: Raj's mother is 46 years old and Raj's father is 52 years old.
