Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 28

Given:

The ratio of the present age of Riti and her father = 6 : 13.

After 4 years

the age of her father = double of Riti's age.

Calculation:

The ratio of the present age of Riti and her father is 6 : 13

Let, her present age is 6x and that of her father is 13x

After 4 years her age will be (6x + 4)

After 4 years her father’s age will be (13x + 4)

Accordingly,

(13x + 4) = 2 × (6x + 4)

⇒ 13x + 4 = 12x + 8

⇒ 13x – 12x = 8 – 4

⇒ x = 4

Riti’s present age is (6 × 4) = 24 years

And her father’s present age is (13 × 4) = 52

At the time of her birth her father’s age was (52 – 24) = 28 years

The age of her father was 28 years at the time of her birth.
