    Age is the problem!

    The ages of a father and a son are in the ratio 11:5. The ratio of their ages after 15 years will be 7:4. What are their present ages and also their age after 7 years?

    @Thyagarajan sir, To be honest, I wasn't sure of the answer to the later part of the question. If we know their present ages, telling their age after 7 years is just adding 7 to their ages each. Then I started wondering why such a trivial thing would be asked and I am possibly missing something.
