      B 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let present age of father and his son be ‘9x’ years and ‘2x’ years, respectively. ATQ; (9x + 4)/(2x + 4) = 4/1 Or, 9x + 4 = 8x + 16 Or, x = 12 Desired difference = 9x – 2x = 7x = 7 × 12 = 84 years
