Answer:
Let the son age be x and the man age be 3x.
Before ten years,the son' s age was x-10 years.
The father age was 3x-10 years.
It is given that ten years ago A man age was five times his sons age
=3x-10=5(x-10)
=3x-10=5x-50
=3x-5x=(-50)+10
=-2x=-40
=x=40/2=20
Hence Aman present age is 3x=20×3=60 years
And his son age is x=20 years
