Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Son is 5 years old and Mr.Agarwal is 35 years old
If the son's age be x years.
Mr.Agarwals age is 7x years.
So , After 10 years, his son's age will be = (x + 10) years
After 10 years, Mr. Ranjan's age will be = (7x + 10) years
By the given condition,
(7x + 10) = 3(x + 10)
7x + 10 = 3x + 30
7x - 3x = 30 - 10
4x = 20 or x = 5

Answer:
Son's age= 5, Father's age = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Son's age = x
Father's age = 7x
The age of son = (x+10) years
The age of father = (7x+10) years
3(x+10) = 7x+10
3x+30 = 7x+10
7x-3x = 30-10
4x = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
THEREFORE SON'S AGE = 5 YEARS
FATHER'S AGE = 30+5
= 35 YEARS
