Question

5 year ago A man was 8 times as old as his son 5 years hence the father will be thricethe age of his son find their present age

Answer 1

Let the past age of son = x

Let the past age of father = 8x

So,

Present ages are x+5 and 8x+5

Future age of son = x+10

Future age of father = 8x+10

Given

8x+10 = 3*(x+10)

8x+10 = 3x+30

8x-3x = 30-10

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

8x = 32

x+5 = 10

8x+5 = 37
