Let x be the son's age. The father's age is 3x and 3x - x = 24.

The son's age is 12 and the father's age is 36 at present.

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we take a square root of a number the ± sign is with it like here in the question

$x^2=20\\\\Apply\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{20} \\\\The\ square\ cancels\ out\ with\ the\ root\x=\sqrt{20}$

And then x = ±4.47 which means x has two values one is +4.47 and the other is -4.47 so Option D is our answer.
