Answer 2

Answer:

Son is 20 years old and father is 45 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Father is = 25 year older than his son

After 5 years old = his age will be twice that of his son

To find :

Their present ages

Solution :

Let The present ages be -

• Son as x
• Father as (x + 25)

After 5 years -

• Son = (x + 5)
• Father = (x + 25) + 5

➙ (x + 25) + 5 = 2(x + 5)

➙ x + 30 = 2x + 10

➙ 2x - x = 30 - 10

➙ x = 20

Son = 20 years old

Father's age =

➙ (x + 25)

➙ 20 + 25

➙ 45

Father = 45 years old

$\therefore$ Son is 20 years old and father is 45 years old.
