Answer 1

Answer:

Ten years ago he was five times his son's age. Find their present ages. present age of his son=x=20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aman's son age =x

Aman's age =3x

Ten years ago, he was 5 times the age of his son.

Therefore, 3x−10=5(x−10)

3x−10=5x−50

2x=40

x=20

Aman's son is 20 yrs old

Aman is 3x=3×20=60 yrs old.
