Let the present age of man be 'x' years and that of his son be 'y' years.

Acc. to the question -

=> x = 5y..........1

After 10 years,

Age of man = ( x + 10) years

Age of son = ( y + 10) years

According to the question -

=> ( x + 10) = 3(y + 10).......2

Substituting the value of x in eq 2

=> 5y + 10 = 3y + 30

=> 2y = 20

=> y = 10

x = 5y = 50

Ans.= The present age of son is 10 years and that of his son is 50 years.


Hope it helps!!!
