Answer 1

Answer:

12 years, 44 years

Step-by-step explanation:

12 years, 44 years

Answer 2

Answer:

let son age be x and father's age be y

so according to question

x+y=56

after four years,

y+4=3(x+4)

on solving these two equations we get,

x=12 and y=44

therefore, son's age is 12 years and father's age is 44 years
