B Correct answer
Explanation

Rahul's age is y. Four times his age is 4y. Three years older than that is 4y + 3. This equals his father's age, 52.

AI explanation

Rahul's father is 3 years older than four times Rahul's age, where Rahul's age is given as y years. This means the father's age can be expressed as 4y + 3. Since the father's actual age is given as 52 years, setting up the equation yields 4y + 3 = 52.
