Answer:

ANS D

FATHER 44 YEARS AND SON 16YEARS

Step-by-step explanation:

PRESENT AGE RATIO B/W FATHER AND SON 11:4

LET

FATHER AGE 11X

SON AGE 4X

THEREFORE 4YEAR AGO

FATHER AGE 11X-4

SON AGE 4X-4

Then,

$\frac{11x - 4}{4x - 4} = \frac{10}{3} \\ = > 33x - 12 = 40x - 40 \\ = > 7x = 28 \\ = > x = 4$

FATHER AGE 11*4=44 YEARS

SON AGE 4*4=16 YEARS
