O D. 5:10​

Answer 1

Answer:

3:10

Step-by-step explanation:

let Ajay age be x

5 yrs ago

Ajay age=x-5

Ajay's father's age=5(x-5)

Ajay's father's present age=5x-25+5=5x-20

2 yrs after

Ajay age=x+2

Ajay's father's age=5x-20+2=5x-18

Given:

3(x+2)=5x-18

3x+6=5x-18

24=2x

x=12yrs=Ajay's present age

Ajay's father's present age=5x-20=60-20=40yrs

Ratio=3:10
