  1. Question 1

    Q1. A man is 4 times as old as his son. In 16 years, he will be twice as old as his son. What is the man's current age?

    • A) 32 years
    • B) 36 years
    • C) 40 years
    • D) 48 years

    Answer: 32 years

    Explanation: Let's denote the son's age as x. So, the man's age is 4x. In 16 years, 4x + 16 = 2(x + 16), simplifying to 4x + 16 = 2x + 32, hence 2x = 16, and x = 8, making the man's age 32.
