Answer:
Let the father's age be x
Therefore, son's age = 60-x
6 years ago....
father's age was x-6
son's age was 60-x-6
It is said that the father was 5 times the age of his son 6 years ago,
Therefore,
A.T.P
x-6 = 5(60-x-6)
=>x-6 = 300-5x-30
=>x-6 = 270-5x
=>x+5x = 276
=>6x = 276
=> x = 276/6
=> x = 46
Therefore, Father's age is 46
and the son's age is 60-x= 14
6 years later, the son's age will be 20

Answer:
Let the sons present Age be x years and father's present age will be (60 - x) years.
According to Question :
➳ (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
➳ 54 - x = 5x - 30
➳ 6x = 84
➳ x = 84/6
➳ x = 14 years
Therefore,the age of his son after 6 years will be (x + 6) years = 20 years.
