Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the son be x

Fathers age = 3x

5 years later,

Age of son = 5+x

Fathers age = 2.5(5+ x)

3x + 5 = 2.5 (5+ x )

3x + 5 = 12.5 × 2.5x

3x/2.5x = 12.5 - 5

1.2x = 7.5

x = 6.25

Age of son ( at present) = 6.25 years

Age of father ( at present ) =

3×6.25

18.75 years
