Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the HCF of the ages. Then we can have ax = 10 represent Lena's age, and bx can represent her dad's age.

The LCM will be abx = 14x, so we have ab = 14.

Factors of 14 are 1·14 and 2·7. Since the ratio of ages is between 30/10 = 3 and 45/10 = 4.5, we must have b/a in that range. This will be the case for ...

  a=2, b=7

For a=2 and ax=10, we have x=5.

The dad's age is bx = 7·5 = 35.
