Question

At present Father's age is thrice than that of his son. 6 years back his age was four times than that of the son. what will be the ratio of their ages after 6 year

Answer 1

Hi,

Here's the answer:-

Let son's age be x.

Father's age = 3x

Age of father before 6 years = 3x-6

Age of son before 6 years = x-6

According to question:-

(3x-6) = 4(x-6)

=> 3x - 6 = 4x - 24

=>4x-3x = 24-6

=> x = 18

So,

Son's present age = 18

Father's present age = 18×3=54

Ratio after 6 years =

Age of father after 6 years : Age of son after 6 years = 18+6:54+6 = 24:60 = 2:5

HOPE IT HELPS (^_^)
