$\:\: \underline{\underline{\bf{\large\mathfrak\red{~~Solution~~}}}}$

Let the present age of his son=X years

therefore the present age of Mr gover=3X

now .. according to the problem.

$= > x + 3x = 48 \\ = > 4x = 48 \\ = > x = \frac{48}{4} \\ = > x = 12$

therefore the present age of MR.Gover=3×12=36yrs

and of his son=12 years
