Answer 1

Answer:

Sohail's son's age is 20 years and Sohail's age is 60 years.

Explanation:

Let the present age of Sohail's son be x years.

Then, Sohail's age will be 3x years.

Now, according to the question -

Ten years ago He was five times his sons age  

⇒ (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.
