Solution
Let Samir's father's age = $x$ years
=> Samir's age = $\frac{x}{4}$ years
=> Reema's age = $\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{x}{4}$
= $\frac{3x}{8}$ years
$\therefore$ Ratio of Samir , Reema and their father's age
= $\frac{x}{4} : \frac{3x}{8} : x$
= 2 : 3 : 8
Let Samir's father's age = $x$ years
=> Samir's age = $\frac{x}{4}$ years
=> Reema's age = $\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{x}{4}$
= $\frac{3x}{8}$ years
$\therefore$ Ratio of Samir , Reema and their father's age
= $\frac{x}{4} : \frac{3x}{8} : x$
= 2 : 3 : 8
