Hi!

We know that Mr. Abraham's wife is 6 years younger than him, which is 36-6, which means his wife is 30 years old.

We also know that Mr A's son is 24 years younger than his wife, which is 30-24, which is 6.

As of right now, we now know that:

Mr. A is 36

Mr. A's wife is 30

Mr. A's son is 6

It's asking for the ratio of Him:Wife:Son, so 36:30:6.

BUT, it's asking for simplest form, so divide each of those numbers by 6.

Your answer is: 6:5:1
