Answer:
10 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son's present age be S and father's present age be F
Given, S = F/3
After 12 years, S+12 = F+12-20
S+12 = F-8
S = F-20
F/3 = F-20
2F/3 = 20
F = 30
S = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
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.
