Solution

The correct option is A: 2 times

Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x+3x) years =4x years. [His father is 3 times more that ronit's age so, x+3x will be his age now ]

After 8 years, Ronit,s Age =x+8

His father's age =(4x+8)

According to the question, we have

(4x+8)=52(x+8)
8x+16=5x+40
3x=24
x=8.

Further 8 years will means 16 years from the current age.

After 16 years from present, the ratio of their ages will be

His father's ageRonit' age=(4x+16)(x+16)=4×8+168+16=4824=2.

His father =2× Ronit age

Hence, his father will be 2 times Ronit's present age after 16 years from now.
