You can also solve this problem by taking son's age as x and father's age as y. First, y = 4x as it is 3 times 'more' than that of his son. Then after 8 years son's age will be x+8 and father's age will be y+8=5/2(x+8) after solving you will get x = 8 and y = 32. Then after 16 years let father be n times of son's age i.e.
y + 16 = n(x + 16).
or 32 + 16 = n(8 + 16)
[putting x = 8 and y = 32]
or 48 = 24n,
or n = 2.
Therefore father is 2 times his son's age after 16 years.
