Question

The ratio of the father's age to the son's age is 3 : 1. The product of their ages is 147. The ratio of their ages after 5 years will be?
A)

Answer 1

Answer:

Let father's age be 3x and son's age be x years

Father's age after 5 years = 3x + 5 = 26 years

Son's age after 5 years = x + 5 = 12 years

Ratio of father's and son's ages = 26 : 12 = 13 : 6
