The peresent age of the father and the son are in the ratio of 8:3. After 12 years the ratio of their ages will be 2:1. What is the sum of the present age of the father and the son ?
Let the present age of the father be 'x' and that of the son be 'y'. Then x/y = 8/3∴ 3x = 8y Further, x + 12/y + 12 = 2/1 ∴ x + 12 = 2y + 24 ∴ x - 2y = 12 ......(ii)From eqn (i) and (ii), x = 48, y = 18 ∴ sum = 66 yrs.
Total balls = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17∴ n(S) = 17C1 = 680Two red balls can be selected from four red balls in 4C2 = 6 ways.and the third ball can be selected from the remaining 13 balls in 13C1 = 13 ways.∴ P (E) = 13x6/680 = 39/340
