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 |
