Five years ago, the total of the ages of father and son was 60 years. The ratio of their present ages is 4 : 1. Then the present age of the father is ?
-
- 48 years
- 51 years
- 56 years
- 61 years
Correct Option: C
Let the present age of the son be x and that of the father be 4x years.
∵ (x - 5) + (4x - 5) = 60
⇒ 5x = 70
∴ x = 14 years
∴ Father's present age = 4x = 56 years
