Answer:
let the age of father be "f"
and the ages of sons be "s"
from 1st condition
f = 3s..........(1)
from second condition
f+5 = 2(s+10)........10 because there are 2 sons
f+5 = 2s + 20
f-2s = 15......(2)
from (1) and (2)
3s-2s = 15
s = 15
substitute value of s in equation (1)
we get,
f = 3s
f = 3× 15
f = 45
therefore, age of father is 45 years
