Options:

35:16

16:35

14:15

35:13

Correct Answer:

35:13

Explanation:

          Father        :     Rashmi      :       son

               5          :         3

                                     5          :         1        

              25         :        15          :        3  (at present)

                                 ↓ - 2 unit

              23         :        13          :       1   (Four years before)

 

2 unit   = 4

1 unit  =   2

 

Grandfather's present age  = 25 x 2 = 50

Grandson's present age     =   3 x 2 = 6

20 years from now      F    = 50+20 = 70

                                 S    = 6  +20 = 26   

F : S = 70 : 26 = 35: 13
