Hello Dear User,
Let the son's age be x
Let the Anil age be 3x
5 years later, x + 5 , 3x+ 5 respectively,
3x + 5 = 5/2 ( x + 5 )
3x + 4 = 5x/2 + 25/2
3x - 5x/2 = 25/2 - 4
( 6x - 5x ) / 2 = ( 25 - 8 ) / 2
x/2 = 17/2
x = 17 years
So, son is 17 years old, then Anil's age = 17 × 3
= 51 years
Hope it helps☺!
