Answer 1

$\huge \bold \red {Answer:-}$

[A] The ratio of the age of father and of his son -

= $\huge \frac {42}{14}$

= $\huge \frac {3}{1}$

= 3:1 is the ratio.

[B] We know that son's age is 14 years now, so two years ago it was 12 years and the ratio of father's age to the sons age is 3:1 so,

12*3 = 36

So father's age is 36 years and son's age is 12 years.

Ratio - $\huge \frac {36}{12}$

= 3:1 or 36:12 is the ratio.

[C] age of father after ten years will be 42 + 10 = 52 years and age is son after ten years will be 14+10= 24 years ,so

$\huge \frac {52}{24}$

= 3:1 or 52:24 is the ratio.

[D] When father was 30 years old means when it was 42-30 = 12 years ago so the age of the son 12 years ago would be 14-12 = 2 years , so

$\huge \frac {30}{2}$

= 15:1 or 30:2 is the ratio.
