Explanation

Let father's present age be F and son's present age be S. Five years ago: F - 5 = 5(S - 5), so F = 5S - 20. After two years: F + 2 = 3(S + 2). Substituting: 5S - 18 = 3S + 6, giving S = 12 and F = 40. Ratio F:S = 40:12 = 10:3. Option A (33:5) is a common miscalculation from incorrect equation setup.
