Let us assume, x is the father's age and y is son's age.
Given:
2y + x = 10 ----------------1
Also given:
2x + y = 95 ---------------2
Multiply equation 1 by 2
4y + 2x = 140 -----------------3
Subtract equation 3 from equation 2
3y = 45
y = 15 years
substitute the value of y in equation 1
2 * 15 + x = 70
30 + x = 70
x = 40 years
The age of Father is 40 years and the age of Son is 15 years.
