Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 27 years

Given:

3 years ago age ratio of son and father = 2 ∶ 3

3 years after age ratio of son and father = 5 ∶ 7

Calculation:

Let be 3 years ago the age of son and father be 2x and 3x respectively

Now,

Total the difference of age between son and father = 3 – (– 3)

⇒ 6 years

Now,

(2x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 5/7

⇒ 14x + 42 = 15x + 30

⇒ 42 – 30 = 15x – 14x

⇒ 12 = x

Now,

The age of son 3 years ago = 2x

⇒ 2 × 12

⇒ 24 years

Now,

The present age of son = The Age of son 3years ago + 3

⇒ 24 + 3

⇒ 27

The Present age of son will be 27 years
