Answer 1

Answer:

Ashish's present age = x = 38

his son's present age =y= 14

Hope it helps..

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of Ashish be x

And present age of his son be y

Now, 2 years ago,

Ashish's Age : x-2

His son's age : y-2

According to question,

x-2 = 3(y-2)

x-2 = 3y-6

x =3y-6+2

x= 3y -4 ------let this be first equation

Again, 2 years hence,

Ashish's age : x+2

His son's age : y+2

2(x+2)= 5(y+2)

2x + 4 = 5y+10

2x = 5y +6 ------let this be 2nd equation

Putting x from 1st equation in 2nd equation

we get,

2(3y-4) = 5y +6

6y - 8 = 5y +6

y =14

putting y in 1st equation

we get,

x =3(14) - 4

x = 42 -4

x = 38
