Answer:
Let son's age = x
Two years ago son's 1ge = x - 2 . His Father's age at that time = 3(x - 2) . Given :-5*(x+2)=2*(3x-2) 5x + 10 = 6x - 4
Present age of Father = 3x-6+2=3x-4 Two years hence father's age=3x-4+2=3x-2.
Two years hence son's age = x+2.
10 + 4 = 6x - 5x
14 = x SON'S PRESENT AGE: 14 years. FATHER'S PTESENT AGE: 38 years.
