Ages (Ratio/Equations)
A father tells his son, "I was your present age when you were born." If the father is 36 years old now, what is the son's present age?
Let the son's present age be x years. The father says, "I was your present age when you were born," which means the father's age at the son's birth was x years. Since the father's current age is 36, the difference between their ages is 36 - x. This difference is constant and equals the son's current age x. So, 36 - x = x, which gives 2x = 36, hence x = 18 years. Since 18 years is not among the given options, the correct choice is D (None of these).
