Let his son's age age at present be x
Situation 1- Five years ago,
Our age = x - 5
Raj's age = 6(x - 5)
Raj's age = 6x - 30
Situation 2 - Five years later
His son's age = x + 5
Raj's age = 3 (x + 5) - 5
Raj's age = 3x + 15 -5
Raj's age = 3x + 10
6x - 30+ 10 = 3x + 10
6x - 30+10 - 10 = 3x
6x - 40 + 10 = 3x
6x -30 = 3x
6x - 3x = 30
3x = 30
x = 30/3
x = 10
Thus his son's age now is x = 10
Raj's age now = 6x - 30 +5 = (610) - 30 +5
= 60 - 30 + 5
= 30 + 5
= 35
