Hi there!
Let the Son's present age be x years
his Father 's present age be 45-x years
5 years ago:
Son = (x -5)
Father = 45 - x - 5 = ( 40 - x)
ATQ,
(x - 5) ( 40 - x) = 4 (40 - x)
x - 5 = 4
x = 9
Hence,
Son's present age = x = 9 years
Father's present age = 45-x = 45-9 = 36 years.
Thank you! for asking the Question.. :)
Cheers!
