(a) Ratio of father’s present age to that of son = 42/14 = 3/1 = 3:1

(b) When son was 12 years, i.e., 2 years ago, then father was (42 – 2) = 40 years 

Therefore, the ratio of their ages = 40/12 = 10/3 = 10 : 3 

(c) Age of father after 10 years = 42 + 10 = 52 years 

Age of son after 10 years = 14 + 10 = 24 years 

Therefore, ratio of their ages = 52/24 = 13/6 = 13 : 6 

(d) When father was 30 years old, i.e., 12 years ago, then son was (14 – 12) = 2 years old 

Therefore, the ratio of their ages = 30/2 =15/1 = 15 : 1
