Question

The present ages of the father and the son are 44
years and 20 years respectively. After how many
years will the ratio of their ages be 2:1​

Answer 1

Answer:

After 4 years the ages of father and his son will be in the ratio 3:1.

Answer 2

Answer:

It would be 4 years later

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

present age of son= 20 years

and

Present age of father = 44 years

Let after x years the ratio of father's and son's ages be 2:1

so After x years

Father's age = 44 + x

Son's age = 20 + x

so ATQ

(44 + x) : ( 20 + x ) = 2 : 1

cross multiplying

we get

44 + x = 40 + 2x

Transferring we get

x = 4

Therefore after 4 years the ratio of their ages will be 2 : 1
