Solution :-
Let the present age of Sohail's son be x years.
Then, Sohail's age will be 3x years.
Now, according to the question -
⇒ (3x - 10) = 5*(x - 10)
⇒ 3x - 10 = 5x - 50
⇒ 3x - 5x = - 50 + 10
⇒ - 2x = - 40
⇒ 2x = 40
⇒ x = 40/2
⇒ x = 20
So, the present age of Sohail's son is 20 years and Sohail's age is 3*20 = 60 years.
