➢ $\bf\Large\underline{\underline{\red{Solution :}}}$

Let father's age be x & son's age be y.

According to the question,

$\bf\green{After \: 3 \: years :}$

➦ By 1st condition:

⇒3 + 3y = x (father's age)

‏‏‎ ‎

➦ By 2nd condition:

⇒x + 3 = 2(y + 3) + 10

‏‏‎ ‎

➦ So the final 2 equations are

⇒x-3y = 3 … (1)

⇒x-2y = 13 … (2)

‏‏‎ ‎

➦ Solving them we get :

⇒y = 10

⇒x = 33

So, the father's present age is 33 and that of the son is 10.

• Present age of father = 33
• Present age of son = 10
