Answer 2

Present age of father is 48 years and that of his son is 16 years.

Find the ratio of:

(a) Present age of father to the present age of son.

$48 : 16$

$= \frac{48}{16}$

$= \frac{3}{1}$

$= 3 : 1$

(b) Age of the father to the age of son, when son was 8 years old.

Since, Since son age was 8 years, 8 years back

Father age 8 years back will be (48 - 8) 40 years.

$40 : 8$

$\frac{40}{8}$

$\frac{5}{1}$

$5 : 1$

(c) Age of father after 5 years to the age of son after 5 years.

Age of father after 5 years = 48 + 5 = 53 years

Age of son after 5 years = 18 + 5 = 21 years

$53 : 21$

(d) Age of father to the age of son when father was 40 years old.

$40 : 8$

$\frac{40}{8}$

$\frac{5}{1}$

$5 : 1$
