The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 94 years. 8 years ago their respective ages were in the ratio of 2 : 1. After 10 years what will be the ratio of ages of father and son ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Lets assume,
Age of father, 8 years ago = 2x
Age of son, 8 years ago = x
Given 2x + 8 + x + 8 = 94 ( sum of present ages)
⇒ x = 26
Present age of father = 60
Present age of son = 34
Ratio of ages of father and son after 10 years = \(\frac{60 + 10}{34 + 10}\) = \(\frac{70}{44}\)
⇒ 35:22
