Answer 2

Let the present age of son be x

Let the present age of his father be 3x

After 12 years, son's age = x + 12

After 12 hears, age of father = 3x + 12



According to the question,


3x + 12 = 2(x + 12)

3x + 12 = 2x + 24

3x - 2x = 24 - 12

x = 12


$\therefore{}$ Age of son => x => 12 years.


$\therefore{}$ Age of father => 3x => 3 × 12 => 36 years
