The present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, a father is now 38 years older than his son
Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son
Let "x" be the age of son now
Therefore, from given,
Father age now = 38 + age of son now
Father age now = 38 + x
<em><u>Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son</u></em>
Age of son ten years ago = age of son now - 10
Age of son ten years ago = x - 10
Age of father ten years ago = 38 + x - 10
Then we get,
Age of father ten years ago = twice the age of son ten years ago
38 + x - 10 = 2(x - 10)
28 + x = 2x - 20
2x - x = 28 + 20
x = 48
Thus son age now is 48 years old
Father age now = x + 38 = 48 + 38 = 86
Thus present age of father is 86 years old and present age of son is 48 years old

Ok, here is what I got:
<span>9/20 is .45 so D is right for sure. C is also correct since the remaining % is 55 ( meaning the percent you won't win) this is also the same as A which is 11/20 or .55. again meaning that .55 is the probability that you won't win. I hope this helps!</span>
The answer would be 3:33333
