Correct Answer: $10:11$
Solution : Let the present age of boys be $3x$ years and $4x$ years respectively. According to the given condition: After 3 years, $⇒\frac{3x+3}{4x+3}=\frac{4}{5}$ $⇒ 15x+15 = 16x+12$ $\therefore x = 3$ So, the present age of boys is 9 years and 12 years respectively. Therefore, the ratio of their age after 21 years is $=\frac{9+21}{12+21}$ $=\frac{30}{33}$ $=\frac{10}{11}$ Thus, the ratio of the age after 21 years is $10:11$. Hence, the correct answer is $10:11$.
