Let, the present age of Reena = 4x

The present age of her husband = 5x

After 8 years,

Age of her husband = 24y

Age of her son = 9y

Present of Reena = 32 years

4x = 32 years

X = 8

Present age of her husband = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40 years

After 8 years, age of her husband = 48 years

48 = 24y

Y = 2

After 8 years, age of her son = 9y = 9 × 2 = 18

Present age of her son = 18 – 8 = 10

Hence, answer is 10 years.
