Question

The ratio of the ages of father and his son 10 years hance will be 5:3 , while years ago, it was 3:1 . The ratio of the age of the son to that of his father today , is?

Answer 1

Answer:

Father age = 10

son age = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE,

ratio of father and son = 5 : 3

LET,

The common multiple be x

NOW,

the ratio of father and son = 5x : 3x

By the given condition the ratio = 3 : 1

SOLLUTION,

5x/3x = 3/1

1(5x) = 3(3x)

5 +1x = 9 + 3x

1x - 3x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

NOW,

The ratio of father = 5x = 5 X 2 = 10

The ratio of son = 3x = 3 X 2 = 6
