Hey there....!!
Let the father's age and son's age be x and y respectively
Then according to the given condition,
x + y = 60
&
x - y = 30
Solving the two equations simultaneously we get,
x + y = 60
x - y = 30
_________
2x = 90
x = 45
Substituting the value of x in any of the two equations,
x + y = 60
45 + y = 60
y = 15
Hence, father's age is 45 years and son's age is 15 years
