are you sure this isn’t a trick question? lolz. i mean, i’m not good at math. but the further they age, the smaller the factor becomes when you divide the dad’s age to the son’s age. so i can’t see how the dad can be ten times older than his son (because as it is, the factor is 5.something). unless his son doesn’t age so the answer would be 18 years lolz.
