Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 34 years

Given:

Age of a man after 17 years is 3 times the age of that man 17 years ago.

Calculation:

Let the present age of man be x years

According to the question,

x + 17 = 3(x – 17)

⇒ x + 17 = 3x – 51

⇒ x – 3x = –51 – 17

⇒ –2x = –68

⇒ x = 34

Man’s present age is 34 years.
