Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sunil’s son be x years.

Therefore, Sunil’s age = 3x years.

According to question,

3x−10=5(x−10)  

⇒3x-10=5x-50

⇒3x−5x=−50+10

⇒ −2x=−40

⇒ x={-40}{-2}=20

⇒x=  −2/ −40

​=20 years

Hence, Sunil’s son’s age = 20 years

And Sunil’s age = 3 x 20 = 60 years.
