let the son's age be x
man's age 27x
after 10years ,
so add ten to both the ages
sons age 10+x
mans age27x+10
it is said that the man will be twice as old as his son .so
man age=2*sons age
27x+10=2*(10+x)
27x+10=20+2x
25x=10
x=10/25
x=2/5yrs=sons age
fathers age =27x
=27*2/5
fathers age =10.8yrs
i k ow this sounds wierd but i feel this is the correct answer.
if it helped pls mark my answer as brainliest
