Answer / ans
let ronit's present age be x
the father's age will be =x+3x=4x
after 8 years-4x+8=5/2(x+8)
3x=24
x=8
therefpre,required ratio is 4x+16/x+16= 48/2=2
so option A is correct!

Answer / charan
it is 2.2 times.Suppose rohit's age is 24, then his
father's age is 24*3=72. after 8 years rohit's father is 80
& rohit's 32 which is 2.5 times more. after 8 more years
father's age is 88 and rohit's 40 which is 2.2 times more

Answer / vignesh
You can also solve this problem by taking son's age as x and father's age as y. First, y = 4x as it is 3 times 'more' than that of his son. Then after 8 years son's age will be x+8 and father's age will be y+8=5/2(x+8) after solving you will get x = 8 and y = 32. Then after 16 years let father be n times of son's age i.e.
y + 16 = n(x + 16).
or 32 + 16 = n(8 + 16)
[putting x = 8 and y = 32]
or 48 = 24n,
or n = 2.
Therefore father is 2 times his son's age after 16 years.

Answer / sindhu
father=f and his son=s
f=3s
after 8 years,
f+8=2.5(s+8)
sub f=3s
3s+8=2.5(s+8)
s=24 and f=72
further 8 years,
s=32 and f=80
so ans is 2 and half times

Answer / anand
Ronit's age is X.
His father's age is 3x.
After 8 years
5/2(x+8)=(3x+8)
5(x+8)=2(3x+8)
5x+40=6x+16
x=24
Ronit's age after 16 years is X+8+8=40
His father's age is 3x+8+8=88
he would be 2+1/5 time of ronit's age.
I dont know whether it is right or wrong. But when i
multiply ronit age(after 16yrs) with 2+1/5 is equql to his
father's age(after 16 yrs).
Everyone said that father is aged 3 time more than his son
ronit, so that only you all take 4x instead of 3x, why cant
you take it as 5x , it is also more than 3 na.
