Let present age of father, mother and son be and respectively.
Sum of present ages of father and son = (mother’s present age + 8 yrs.)
yrs.
Mother’s present age = (son’s present age + 22)
…
Solving we get
Father’s age = 30 yrs.
Age of father after 4 yrs. = 30 + 4 = 34 yrs.
Required age of father = 34 yrs.
