The age of a father 3 years ago is same as the age of a mother 3 years after, and the ratio of the ages of the father 2 years and son 4 years after is 10∶ 3. What is the ratio of age of the mother after 3 years and the son after 2 years if the present age of the mother is 4 times the age of the son?1. 10∶ 32. 7∶ 23. 6∶ 14. 9 ∶ 45. Cannot be determined

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 7∶ 2

The ratio age of father 2 years and son 4 years after is 10∶ 3

⇒ The present age of the father = 10x– 2

The present age of the son = 3x– 4

The present age of the mother is 4 times that of son

⇒ Present age of the mother = 4(3x– 4) = 12x– 16

The age of the father 3 years ago is same as the age of the mother 3 years after

⇒ 10x– 2 – 3 = 12x– 16 + 3

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 4

∴ The present age of the mother = 12× 4– 16 = 32

The present age of the son = 3× 4– 4 = 8

∴ The ratio of age of motherafter 3 years and sonafter 2 years

⇒ (32 + 3)/(8 + 2) = 35/10 = 7/2or 7∶ 2

∴ The ratio of age of motherafter 3 years and sonafter 2 years is 7∶ 2
