Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Let's assume the son's present age is x years. Then the father's present age is x + 25 years.

Step 2: According to the problem, four years from now, the father's age will be 1 year less than thrice the son's age. We can write this as: (x + 25) + 4 = 3(x + 4) - 1

Step 3: Simplify the equation: x + 29 = 3x + 12 - 1

Step 4: Further simplify: x + 29 = 3x + 11

Step 5: Rearrange the equation to find the value of x: 3x - x = 29 - 11

Step 6: Simplify to find x: 2x = 18

Step 7: Solve for x: x = 18 / 2 = 9

So, the son is 9 years old.

Step 8: To find the father's age, add 25 to the son's age: 9 + 25 = 34

So, the father is 34 years old. Therefore, the correct answer is 34 years.
