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!!!
