Answer:
Father's present age = 25
son's present age=5
Step-By-Step explanation:
The age of father is 3 times the age of his son
So the father will be 3 times the sons age. The age of son after 5 years will be y+5. And his father's will be x+5. Hence, the present age of father and son is 25 and 5 years respectively.

Answer:
Let the present age of son be x
And that of the father be y
According to the question
3x=y ----(1)
Also
5 years ago
y-5=5(x-5) ----(2)
Substitute the value of y from (1) in (2)
3x-5=5x-25
25-5=5x-3x
2x=20
x=10
y=3x
y=30
the Present age of the son is 10 years and that of the father is 30 years
