A42 Years

B37 Years

C38 Years

D32 Years

Answer:

A. 42 Years

Read Explanation:

Son's age 5 years ago = 16 years. Son's present age = 16 + 5 = 21 years. Mother's age when son was born (21 years ago) = Present age of son. Mother's age 21 years ago = 21 years. Mother's present age = 21 + 21 = 42 years.
