Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of Sumit is 45 and that of his son is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the current age of Sumit is x and that of his son is y

∴x=3y      ·········(1)

After five years the age of Sumit  willl be x+5 and that of his son is y+5

∴(x+5)=2.5(y+5)     ·········(2)

By solving (1) and (2)

We get,

x=45 and  y=15

So the present age of Sumit is 45 and that of his son is 15.
