Answer:
At present
Son age = 20years
Father 's age = 40years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son age = x
so, Father's age = 2x
At 15 years ago
Son age = (x - 15)
Then, Father 's age = 2x-15
Therefore, according to question
Father's age = 5*(son age)
2x-15 = 5*(x - 15)
2x-15 = 5x -75
-5x+2x = -75+15
-3x = -60
x= 20
Therefore, son age = 20years
Father's age = 40years
