Question

Five year ago a man five times as old as his son two years hence the man will be three times as old as his son what is present age of the man

Answer 1

Father's age present age is  7x-35 +5=7x-30 years

Also father's present age is 3x+15-5=3x+10 years

7x-30=3x+10

7x-3x=10+30

4x=40

x=40/4

x=4

Father's age =3x+10

=3(4)+10

=12+10

=22

Therefore son's present age is 4 years and father's present age is 22 years
