The father son ages problem with solution is as follows :

2 1 times
2
C.
2 3 times
4
D. 3 times

 

SOLUTION : The solution to the above problem is shown below :)

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation:

Let Ronit’s present age be x years. Then, father’s present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years.

(4x + 8) = 5/2 (x + 8)

 8x + 16 = 5x + 40  3x = 24

 x = 8.

Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16)/(x + 16) = 48/24  = 2
