Let age of father = x
Let sum of the ages of the two children be = y
According to the question :-
x = 3y ....(1)
---After 5 years, ages will be----
Father's age = x + 5
Sum of the two children = y + 5 + 5 ( since this "y" comprises ages of two people, the addition needs to be done twice )
According to the question :-
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 10 )
=》 x + 5 = 2y + 20
Due to (1)
=》 3y + 5 = 2y + 20
=》 y = 15
Age of father = 3y = 3 × 15 = 45 years
