Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let's age of two children be x and y
then Father's age = 3(x+y)
After 5 years, father's age will be 3(x+y)+ 5
And that of two children will be x+5+y+5= x+y+10
A/Q
3(x+y)+5= 2(x+y+10)
Let's denote x+y as z then we have
3z+5= 2(z+10)
=> 3z+5= 2z+20
=> 3z-2z= 20-5
=>z = 15
so sum of two children = x+y= 15 years
then father's age will be 3(x+y)= 3(15)= 45 years
hope it helps ✌
Let the age of father =x years
The sum of the age of 2 children =y years
According to the first condition
⇒x=3y.....eq1
After 5 years
⇒ Father's age =x+5
⇒ The sum of ages of his two children =y+10
According to the second condition
⇒x+5=2(y+10)⇒x+5=2y+20
⇒x−2y=15....eq2
Put the value of x from eq1
⇒3y−2y=15⇒y=15
Put y=15 in eq1
⇒x=3×15⇒x=45
Hence, father age =45 years
