You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is impossible.
Father will be 4 times the son's age in 10 years.
Father will be 2 times the son's age in 10 years.
Are you certain you have this written correctly?
Or, someone is misusing the word 'hence'. Hence means "from this time on" which would mean ten years in the future.
