Answer:
a/c to question,
let the present age of father be x and son be y, then
1st condition,
(x-5) =7(y-5)
or, x-5=7y-35
or, x-7y=-30_____let equ. 1
2nd condition,
(x+5)=3(y+5)
or,x,+5=3y+15
or, x-3y=10
or x=10+3y
now, putting the value of x in eqn. 1,we get
10+3y-7y=-30
or,-4y=-20
or, y=5
again,
x=10+3*5
= 10+15
=25
hence, present age of father is 25yr and son is 5yr.
thank u!!!
