Answer 1

Answer:

• the present age of the man is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sum of ages of two sons be x years

Age of man = 3xyears

After 5 years age of the man =(3x+5)years

Sum of ages of two sons =(x+10)years

Given, (3x+5)=2(x+10)

⇒ (3x+5)=2x+20

⇒ x=15

Hence 3x=3(15)=45

∴ Present age of father is 45years

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of son=x

then man's age=3x

after 5 yrs

son=x+5

man=3x+5

as per question    3x+5=2(x+5)

3x+5=2x+10

x=10-5=5

Man's present age=5*3=15 years
