Father : Rahul
5 : 1
Father + Rahul = 40
5x+5+x+5=40
6x= 40 -10= 30
x=5
so father=5*5=25 years
rahul=5 years

Five years ago, let father's age be 5x
and let Rahul's age be x
At the present, sum of their ages = 40
→ 5x + 5 + x + 5 = 40 years
→ 6x + 10 = 40
→ 6x = 40 - 10
→ 6x = 30
→ x = 5
Therefore Rahul's age = 5 years
And father's age = 40 - 5 = 35 years
and let Rahul's age be x
At the present, sum of their ages = 40
→ 5x + 5 + x + 5 = 40 years
→ 6x + 10 = 40
→ 6x = 40 - 10
→ 6x = 30
→ x = 5
Therefore Rahul's age = 5 years
And father's age = 40 - 5 = 35 years
