Answer:
Present age
Age of father = 5 × Age of Son
3 years ago,
Age of father = 8 × Age of son
Calculation:
Let the age of father and son be F and S.
According to the question,
F = 5S ----(1)
Again according to the question,
⇒ (F - 3) = 8(S - 3) ----(2)
After equating the equation (1) and equation (2)
⇒ 5S - 3 = 8S - 24
⇒ -3S = -21
⇒ S = 7 years
From equation (1)
⇒ F = 5 × 7
⇒ F = 35 years
∴ The present age of the father is 35 years.
