There are 3 possiblities

  1. Father : 60 yrs old & Son: 06yrs old
  2. Father : 51 yrs old & Son: 15yrs old
  3. Father : 42 yrs old & Son: 24yrs old.

Thinking the genuine situation option 2 is the best fitted.

Thus their ages could be 51 yrs old(father) and 15 yrs old(son)

What is the least number of cards which could be on the table? How many of those would be Diamonds?

Some cards from an ordinary pack of playing cards were laid out on a table with face upwards. I thought of one card there, The KING OF HEARTS. I announced that I would tell Mr. A the value and Mr. B the suit of my chosen card. I whispered to Mr. A that I had chosen a KING and whispered to Mr. B that I had chosen a HEART. Their subsequent discussion went as below:

A: “I do not know the card that was chosen”

B: “I knew you would not”

A: “I still do not know the card, but at least I can now work out its colour”

B: “Now at last I can work out what card it is”

A: “So can I”
