Given, ratio of father’s age to his son’s age is $8 : 5.$
Let their ages be $8x$ and $5x$ respectively.
Given, product of their age is $1440.$
$8x × 5x = 1440$
$x2 = 36$
$x = 6$
Father’s present age $= 8 × 6 = 48$
Son’s present age $= 5 × 6 = 30$
Ratio of their ages after 6 years $(= \frac{{48 + 6}}{{30 + 6}} = \frac{{54}}{{36}} = 3\;:2\;)$Similar Questions
