Answer:

(A) 4N
(B) 4N - 8 = 24
(C) N = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balls = N

Number of black balls = 3 × N = 3N

(A) Total number of balls in the box = Number of red balls + Number of red balls

= N + 3N

= 4N

(B) After removing 8 balls, total number of balls left = 4N - 8

So, according to the question, 

4N - 8 = 24

(C) Solving for N, 

4N = 32

N = 32/4

Thus, 

N = 8

Let the father's age be x and son's be y

10 years before-

Father age=x-10

sons age=y-10

Given,

x-10=10(y-10)

x-10=10y-100

Given present age of father=40

therefore,

x=40

40-10=10y-100

10y-100=30

10y=130

y=130/10

y=13

Therefore present age of son=13years
