$\huge{\boxed{ \underline{ \underline{\mathbb{ \red{ANSWER}}}}}}$

Let's assume that the daughter age is x years now.

Then, father's age will be 5x.

When the daughter was born, the age of father was 32, if present age of daughter is x, then father's age is 32 + x.

As Father is currently 5 times as his daughter's age,

5x = 32 + x

5x - x = 32

4x = 32

x = 32

x = 8.

‏‏‎ ‎

$\rightarrow$ $\fbox{\red{So, the current age of daughter is 8.}}$

Age of father = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40.
