Question

the sum of the present ages of father and son is 68 years. eight years ago, the ratio of their age was 12:1. what will be the ratio of their ages 4 years hence​

Answer 1

Answer:

15:4

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of father and son = 68

eight years ago ratio = 12:1

sum of ages eight years ago= 68-(8+8) = 68-16 = 52

13 units = 52

1 unit =4

so ages of father and son 8 years ago are 4*12 = 48 and 4*1 = 4

present age = 56 and 12

ages after 4 years = 60 and 16

ratio 60:16 = 30:8 = 15:4

hope it helps:)
