Answer:

Age of father = 40 years

Age of son = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son be x and age of father be y

Case 1 :- 2x + y = 70

Case 2 :- x + 2y = 95

Solve these 2 equations by elimination method

2x+y=70 →(i)

2x+4y=190 →(ii)

(ii) - (i)

3y = 120

y = 40 years

(i) ==> 2x +40 = 70

2x = 30

x = 15 years
