let the age of son be x years

and let the age of father be y years

a/q

x+y=60....... (I)

after 14 years age of son will be x+14

and age of father will be y+14

again a/q

y+14=3(x+14)

y+14= 3x+42

3x-y = 14-42=-28 .......(ii)

from I and ii we get

x+y =60........I

3x-y=-28

by adding we get

4x= 32

x=8

therefore age of son =8 years

and age of father = 52 years
