The present age of the man is :

A. 36 Years

B. 49 Years

C. 64 Years

D. None of the above

Answer: A

Explanation: Let the present age of man is ‘m’ and the present age of son is ‘s’

One year ago a man was 7 times as old as his son,

m – 1 = 7(s – 1)

m = 7s – 6………..(1)

Present age of the man is equal to the square of his son’s present age,

m = s² …….(2)

Substitute equation (2) in equation (1)

s² = 7s – 6 (or)

s² – 7s + 6 = 0

After solving we get, s = 6 (or) 1 (‘1’ does not fit in the equation. Hence s = 6)

Son’s age = 6 and fathers age = 36

Hence, option A. is the correct answer.
