Step-by-step explanation:
Let Aman's son age =x
Aman's age =3x
Ten years ago, he was 5 times the age of his son.
Therefore, 3x−10=5(x−10)
3x−10=5x−50
2x=40
x=20
Aman's son is 20 yrs old
Aman is 3x=3×20=60 yrs old.

EXPLANATION.
- GIVEN
The age of father is thrice times the age of son.
ten years ago he was five times his son age.
To find the age of father.
according to the question,
Let the age of father son = x
Let the age of father = 3x
Ten years ago he was five times his son's age.
=> 3x - 10 = 5 ( x - 10 )
=> 3x - 10 = 5x - 50
=> -10 + 50 = 5x - 3x
=> 40 = 2x
=> x = 20
Therefore,
Father son's age = x = 20 years.
Father age = 3x = 3 X 20 = 60 years.
