Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Sushil got married 6 years ago and his present age is 76 times his age at the time of his marriage. This means if his age at the time of marriage was x, then his present age is 76x. But we also know that his present age is x + 6 (since 6 years have passed since his marriage). So, we can set up the equation 76x = x + 6.

  2. Solving this equation for x gives us x = 6/75. This means Sushil was 6/75 years old when he got married, which is not possible. Therefore, there seems to be a mistake in the problem statement.

  3. However, if we ignore this discrepancy and continue with the problem, we know that Sushil's son was 3 years old three years ago, which means his son is now 6 years old.

  4. The ratio of Sushil's son's age to Sushil's age is therefore 6 : 76x. But since x = 6/75, this ratio simplifies to 6 : (76 * 6/75) = 6 : 6.08, which is approximately 1:1.

  5. None of the provided options match this ratio, so there seems to be a mistake in the problem statement or the options.
