Solution

Five years ago, the ratio of the ages of a father and his son was 5 : 3.

As we know that when time progresses the ratio between the ages always decreases.

$$Ratio of age_{5 years ago} > Ratio of Present age > Ratio of age_{5 years later}$$

Option D violates this. $$[\frac{7}{3} > \frac{5}{3}]$$

Option D is correct.
