Question : The ratio of a father's age to his son's age is 3 : 2 The product of the numbers representing their age is 486. The ratio of their ages after 5 years will be:
Option 1: 32 : 24
Option 2: 32 : 21
Option 3: 32 : 22
Option 4: 32 : 23
Correct Answer: 32 : 23
Solution : Let the father’s age as $3x$ and the son’s age as $2x$. According to the problem, the product of their ages is 486. $⇒3x × 2x = 486$ $⇒ 6x^2 = 486$ $⇒ x^2 = 81$ $⇒x = 9$ So, the father’s current age = $3x$ = 27 years The son’s current age = $2x$ = 18 years After 5 years, the father will be 32 years old and the son will be 23 years old. The ratio of their ages after 5 years will be 32 : 23. Hence, the correct answer is 32 : 23.
