Correct Question :-
- The age of a man 3 times the age his son and after 5 years his age will be double the age of his son.
To find :-
- Present age of the man
Solution :-
Let the present age of his son be x then his father be 3x
- After 5 years
- Son's age = x + 5
- Father's age = 3x + 5
According to the given condition
→ 3x + 5 = 2(x + 5)
→ 3x + 5 = 2x + 10
→ 3x - 2x = 10 - 5
→ x = 5
Therefore,
- x = 5 years
Hence,
- Present age of son = x = 5 years
- Present age of Father = 3x = 15 years
