ANSWER

Let Aman's son age =x

Aman's age =3x

Ten years ago, he was 5 times the age of his son.

Therefore, 3x−10=5(x−10)

3x−10=5x−50

2x=40

x=20

Aman's son is 20 yrs old

Aman is 3x=3×20=60 yrs old.

$\huge \bf \blue{Question}$

Aman's age is three times his son's age.Ten years ago he was five times his son's age.Find their present ages.

$\huge \bf\blue{Answer}$

Let Son's age=x years

then,Aman's age=3x years

10 years ago:-

Son's age=(x-10) years

Aman's age=(3x-10) years

According to question:-

5(x-10)=3x-10

5x-50=3x-10

5x-3x=-10+50

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

Aman's son age=20 years

Aman's age=40 years

Hence the answers are 20 and 40.
