Answers
Let the age of the sons be x and y.
Given that Father’s age is three times the age of his two sons.
Therefore, present age of father is 3(x+y)
Now, it is also given, after 5 years, his age will be twice the sum of the ages of his son.
Therfore, after 5 years age of father will be 3(x+y)+5 and age of the sons will be x+5 and y+5.
3(x+y)+5 = 2(x+5+y+5)
3x+3y+5 = 2x+10+2y+10
3x+3y+5 = 2x+2y+20
3x-2x+3y-2y = 20–5
x+y = 15
Now the age of father was 3(x+y)=3(15)=45 (Putting the value of x+y)
Thus the age of the father is 45.
