Correct answer is: 12 years

Explanation:

Let, Mahesh => 3x years
Ajay => 2x years
After 8 years.

\( \frac{3x+8}{2x+8}=\frac{11}{8}\)

=> 24x + 64 = 22x + 881
=> 2x = 88 - 64 = 24
=> x = 12

=> Therefore, Ajay's age 2x = \(2 \times 12\) = 24 years
Therefore, Age of Mahesh's son
\(= \frac{1}{2} \times 24\)

= 12 years
