Let the present age of son be x
Therefore,the present age of father will be 3x
Acc. to question,
Six years ago father's age was 4 times his son's age
4(x-6)=3x-6
4x-24=3x-6
4x-3x=-6+24
x=18
The present age of son is 18
Therefore,after six years his age will be 18+6=24 years
The present age of father=3x=54
Therefore,after six years his age will be 54+6=60
ratio of their ages after 6 years=60/24=5/2=5:2 Ans
Thank You
