ratio between the ages of son and father is 2:3
let the ratio be 2x:3x
add the 2 years in both sides
then it wull be 2x+2:3x+2
after 2 years the ratio will be 3:4
now let this ratio be 3x:4x
according to the question
2x+2:3x+2=3x:4x
so 2x+2=3x
2=3x-2x
2=x
so age of father = 2×4 =8 years
let the ratio be 2x:3x
add the 2 years in both sides
then it wull be 2x+2:3x+2
after 2 years the ratio will be 3:4
now let this ratio be 3x:4x
according to the question
2x+2:3x+2=3x:4x
so 2x+2=3x
2=3x-2x
2=x
so age of father = 2×4 =8 years
