Answer 1

Answer:

10yrs & 49yrs

Explanation:

let x be child's age and y be father's age.

so,five years ago,

x+5=15                      ...............(i)

=> x=15-5

=> x=10.

y+5=54                     ...............(ii)

=> y=54-5

=> y=49

hence,father is 49 yrs old and child is 10 yrs old.
