Given that, age of father is 30 years more than that of his son.
☯ Let's consider that the age of his son be x.

Now,

- Present age of son, x = 10 years.
- Present age of his father (x + 30), = 30 + 10 = 40 years.

Let, the present age of son =x yrs
then, the present age of the father will be =(30+x) yrs
5 year hence,
Father's age will be = ( 30 + 5 + x) yrs = (35+x)yrs
Son's age will be = (x+5)yrs
According to question,
35 + x = 3(x + 5)
35 + x = 3x + 15
3x-x = 35 - 15
2x = 20
x = 10
So, the present age of son is 10 years.
and, the present age of his father is (30+10)=40 years.
