Answer 2

Answer:

Present age of father = 47 Years

Present age of Son = 7 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's the present age of son is x and present age of father is y.

2 years before:

Father's age = y-2

Son's age = x-2

According To Question:

y - 2 = 9(x-2)

y = 9x - 18 + 2 = 9x -16        -------------------(1)

3 years later:

fathers's age = y + 3

son's age = x + 3

According to Question:

y + 3 = 5*(x+3)

y = 5x + 15 - 3 = 5x + 12   --------------------------(2)

from (1) and (2)

9x - 16 = 5x + 12

⇒4x = 28

⇒x = 7

so, from (1)

y = 9*7 - 16 = 63 - 16 = 47
