The ratio of the ages of a father and son is 17 : 7 respectively. 6 years ago the ratio of their ages was 3 : 1 respectively. What is the father's present age ?

Answer»

51 YEARS



Let the present AGES of father and son be 17x years and 7x years respectively.
According to the question.
17x-6/7x-6 = 3/1
= 21X - 18 = 17x - 6
= 21x - 17x = 18 - 6
= 4x = 12
= x = 12/4 = 3
∴ Father's present AGE = 17 x 3 = 51 years
