Question

The present age of father is three times then that of son . Five years ago he was five times as old as his son .find the present age of father and son​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x.

Father's age =3x

∴3x−5=4(x−5)

or 3x−5=4x−20

or 20−5=4x−3x or x=15

After 5 years, son's age is x+5=15+5=20.

Father's age is 3x+5=45+5=50 which is 30 years more than son's age.
