Answer:
Let the jacob’s Present age be x yrs
Also, let his son’s Present age be y yrs
Five year hence , his age will be x + 5 yrs and his son ‘s age will be y + 5 yrs
Also , five year hence , his age will be three times that of his son. Therefore ,
x + 5 = 3 ( y+ 5)
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x = 3y + 10….(1)
Five years ago , his age was x - 5 yrs and his son ‘s age will be y - 5 yrs.
Also , five years ago , his age will be seven times that of his son. Therefore ,
x - 5 = 7 ( y- 5)
x - 5 = 7y - 35
x = 7y - 30….(2)
Equating Equations :-
3 y + 10 = 7y - 30
4y = 40 and y = 10 and x = 40 .
Their present ages are 40 and 10 yrs Respectively.
