john's age =x
father's age = 89-x
..
after 11 years
john's age = x+11
father's age = 99-x
...
99-x=2(x+11)
99-x=2x+22
99-22=2x-x
77=x fathers age
12 = sons age

ANSWER:
father's present age is : 63
john's present age is : 26

add 63 and 26 and the result is 89.

add 11 years to john's age : 26 + 11 = 37
add 11 years to Father's age : 63 + 11 = 74

multipLy the age of John after 11 years by 2 : 37 x 2 = 74

so his father's age is twice the age of John after 11 years. ^_^
