Let son's age be x
Then,
Father's age will be 3x
Ten years ago
Son's age = ( x - 10 )
Father's age = ( 3x - 10 )
According to Question
5 ( x - 10 ) = 3x - 10
=> 5x - 50 = 3x - 10
=> 5x - 3x = -10 + 50
=> 2x = 40
=> x =
x = 20
_____________
Present ages :
Son = 20 years
Father = 3 × 20
= 60 years

Answer:
let the age of Aman's son be x years
age of aman = 3x
ten years ago,
age of son = (x-10)years
age of aman =(3x-10)years
a/q
5(x-10) = (3x-10)
5x-50 = 3x-10
5x-3x = -10+50
2x = 40
x = 20
Present
age of aman 20*3 = 60 years
age of his son = 20 years
