A Correct answer
Explanation

Let son's age be x, Amit's age is 6x. In 4 years, (6x+4) + (x+4) = 43. 7x + 8 = 43. 7x = 35. x = 5. Amit's age = 6 * 5 = 30.

AI explanation

Let the son's present age be x, making Amit's age 6x. After four years, their sum is (x + 4) + (6x + 4) = 43, which simplifies to 7x + 8 = 43. Solving yields 7x = 35 and x = 5, making Amit's present age 6 * 5 = 30 years.
