• B. 37 Years
• C. 38 Years
• D. 32 Years

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 42 Years

Solution: Given that : Son's age 5 years ago = 16 years. Son's present age = 16 + 5 = 21 years. According to statement given,. 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. Hence, the correct answer is "42 years".
