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
