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)
......1) Equation
Now Given that : Two years later
∴ Son's age = a +2
Father's age = b + 2
From First Equation :-
Now put the value of a in first Equation :-
Therefore ,
