Correct Answer: 35 : 22
Solution : Let the present age of the father be $x$ and the present age of the son be $y$. Given: $x + y = 94$.................(1) 8 yrs ago, $\frac{x-8}{y-8}=\frac{2}{1}$ ⇒ $x-8=2y-16$ ⇒ $x-2y=-8$................(2) Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get: $3y=102$ ⇒ $y=34$ ⇒ $x = 94-34=60$ $\therefore$ Son = 34 years and Father = 60 years After 10 years, The ratio of father and son ages = (60 + 10) : (34 + 10) = 70 : 44 = 35 : 22 Hence, the correct answer is 35 : 22.
