The sum of the age of a father and his son is 100 years now. 5 years ago their age was in the ratio of 2 : 1. The ratio of the age of father and son after 10 years will be: |
5 : 3 4 : 3 10 : 7 3 : 5 |
5 : 3 |
Age of father and son 5 years ago = 100 - 2 × 5 = 90 F : S 2 : 1 [3R = 90 ⇒ 1R = \(\frac{90}{3}\) = 30] ×30 ×30 60 30 (age 5 years ago) +5 +5 (at present) +10 +10 (after 10 years) 75 45 5 : 3 Now, Required ratio = F : S = 5 : 3 |
