Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of son =x

Then, the present age of father =3x

According to the question,

The age of son after 12 years =x+12

And the age of father after 12 years =2(x+12)

Therefore,

3x+12=2(x+12)

3x+12=2x+24

x=12

So, the present age of son is 12 years and present age of father is 36 years.
