Let age of son one yr ago be x 
age of man one yr ago be 8x
.....
age of son after one year = x+1
age of man after one year = 8x+1
....
now accordind to question..
8x+1= (x+1)^2
8x+1=x^2 + 1 +2x
after solving 
8x = x^2 +2x
now...x^2 - 6x=0
solving this we get ...x=0 and x = 6 but 
age cant be zero...so..x=6...
age of son is x+1 = 7 years
and age of man be 8x+1= 49
