Solution

Given that,
Present age of father $= 52 y e a r s$
Present age of son $= 18 y e a r s$
Age of father after $8$ years $= 52 + 8 = 60 y e a r s$
Age of son $8$ years ago $= 18 - 8 = 10 y e a r s$
Now, ratio of age of father after $8$ years to the age of son $8$ years ago $= 60 : 10$
Lowest form of $60 : 10 = \frac{60}{10} = \frac{6}{1} = 6 : 1$ (Divide both $60$ and $10$ by their HCF $10$ )
Hence, (Age of father after $8$ years) : ( Age of son $8$ years ago) $=$ $6 : 1$
