The ratio of ages of the father and mother was 11:10, when their son was born. The ratio of ages of the father and mother will be 19 : 18, when the son will be 4 times of his present age. What will be the ratio of present age of father and mother? |
11 : 12 13 : 12 15 : 14 13 : 17 |
13 : 12 |
When son was born: Father : Mother 11 : 10 Let son's present age = y years Now, ATQ \(\frac{11R + 4y}{10R + 4y}\) = \(\frac{19}{18}\) ⇒ 198R + 72y = 190R + 76y ⇒ 8R = 4y ⇒ y = 2R Ratio of present age of Father and Mother: ⇒ \(\frac{11R + 2R}{10R + 2R}\) = \(\frac{13R}{12R}\) = 13 : 12 |
