Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The ratio of the age of father and son, when son was 20 years old

Solution:

Given that,

• The present age of father = 56 years
• The present age of son = 24 years

Therefore,

The age of father and son, when son was 20 years old :-

• Age of son :-

=> 24 years - 4 years

=> 20 years

• Age of father :-

=> 56 years - 4 years

=> 52 years

According the question,

Now, The ratio of the age of father and son, when son was 20 years old :-

=> Father's age : Son's age

=> 52 : 20

=> 26 : 10

=> 13 : 5

Hence,

The ratio of the age of father and son, when son was 20 years old is 13:5.
