Answer:
kindly unfollow my first I'd because I'm not using that I'd
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the son’s age 4 years ago was = x years
father’s age was = 3x
present age of son = x+4
present age of father = 3x+4
Average age of both as given = 36 yrs
= (x+4) +(3x+4)/2 = 36
= 4x+8/2=36
=4x+8=36*2
=4x=72–8
=x=64/4=16
so, son’s age was 16 yrs
and father’s age was 16*3=48 yrs
present age of son = 16+4=20 yrs
present age of father= 48+4=52 yrs
respective ratio of their present age = 52:20 or 26:10 or 13:5
