Answer:
Hi ,
at present
_________
father age = x years
son age = 60 - x
after 14 years
_________
father age = ( x + 14 ) years
son age = ( 60 - x + 14 )
= ( 74 - x ) years
according to the problem given ,
x + 14 = 3 ( 74 - x )
x + 14 = 222 - 3x
x + 3x = 222 - 14
4x = 208
x = 208 / 4
x = 52
Therefore ,
at present ,
father age = x = 52 years
son age = 60 - 52
= 8 years
