    B 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 21 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 26 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present age of father and son be 5x and 2x respectively. According to question, => (5x – 4) (2x – 4) = 31 × (2x – 4) => (5x – 4) = 31 => 5x = 35 => x = 7 Therefore, son’s age 2 years ago = (2x – 2) = 12 years
