Since we have given that Age of father = 31 years Age of son = 8 years. So, the difference between their age is given by (31-8=23)
Now, let the age of his father be ‘x’.
Let the age of his son be ‘x-23’.
According to question, we get that x=2(x-23); x=2x-46; 46=2x-x
x=46
Hence, the age his father is 46 years old and the age of his son would be 23
Hence, the age of the son is 23 years.
