Answer:

age of father=42years

age of son=10years

Step-by-step explanation:

let father age be x, son age be y

A. T. Q,

x-2=5(y-2)

=>x-2=5y-10

=>y=(x-2+10)/5=(x+8)/5......(1)

also,

x+2=3(y+2)+8

=>x+2=3y+14

=>x+2-14=3y

=>x-12=3y......(2)

putting (1)into(2),

x-12=3×(x+8)/5

=>x-12=(3x+24)/5

=>5(x-12)=3x+24

=>5x-60=3x+24

=>5x-3x=60+24

=>2x=84

=>x=84/2=42years

=>y=42+8/5=50/5=10years

Hope it helps you.

Given,

  • Two years ago a father has five times as old as his son.
  • Two years later father age will be 8 years more than three times the age of son .

To Find,

  • The present age of father and son

Solution,

⇒Suppose the present age of son be "a"

And, Suppose the present age of his father be "b"

Now Given that : Two years ago

∴ Son's age =  (a - 2)

Father's age = (b -2)

\boxed{\bold{\red{According \ to \ Question :}}}

\implies \sf{b - 2 = 5(a - 2)}

\implies \sf{b - 2 = 5a - 10}

\implies \sf{ b = 5a - 10 + 2}

\implies \boxed{\sf{b = 5a - 8}}......1) Equation

Now Given that : Two years later

∴ Son's age = a +2

Father's age = b + 2

\boxed{\bold{\red{ Again, According \ to \ the \ Question :}}}

\implies \sf{b + 2 = 8 + 3(a + 2)}

\implies \sf{ b + 2 = 8 + 3a + 6 }

\implies \sf{b + 2 = 3a + 14}

\implies \sf{b - 3a = 14 - 2}

\implies \sf{ b - 3a= 12}

From First Equation :-

\implies \sf{5a - 8 - 3a = 12}

\implies \sf{2a = 12 + 8}

\implies \sf{2a = 20}

\implies \sf{ a = \dfrac{20}{2}}

\implies \boxed{\sf{ a = 10 }}

Now put the value of a in first Equation :-

\implies \sf{ b = 5(10) - 8}

\implies \sf{b = 50 - 8}

\implies \boxed{\sf{ b = 42 }}

Therefore ,

\boxed{\bold{\red{ Son's \ age = a \ years = 10 \ years}}}

\boxed{\bold{\red{ Father's \ age = b \ years = 42 \ years}}}

\rule{200}2
