16 years ago, my Uncle was 8 times older than me. After 8 years from today, my uncle will be thrice as old as I will be at that time. Eight years ago, what was the ratio of my age and my uncle’s age?

11:53

13:45

8:29

5:32

Explanation:

Solution:
Let 16 yrs ago the age of mine was=x
(x+24)/(8x+24)=1/3
X=48/5=9.6
My present age is 9.6+16=25.6
Present age of my Uncle =8*9.6+16=92.8
Required ratio =(25.6-8)/(92.8-8) =17.6/84.8=11:53.
