Ratio of Age
Problems based on ages generally consist
of information of ages of two or more A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by
persons and a relation between their ages division. Here we compare the ages of two
in present/future/past. persons.

Basic Concept of Age CASE 6: Ratio of present ages of father

and son 50:20=5:2
1. Before the year

If the present ages of A and B are x years

If we have to find the age of a person

before n years, then subtract n years from
the present age. then the ratio of their ages n years hence
