Hello dude ☺
Here is ur answer ✌

Let,
son's age 2 years ago be x years.
Then, father's age 2 years ago = (3x) years.
Therefore,
the son's age 2 years hence = ( x + 4 )
father's age 2 years hence = (3x + 4 )
According to the question
2(3x + 4) = 5(x + 4)
→ 6x + 8 = 5x + 20
→ x = 12
Son's age 2 years ago = 12 years
father's ages 2 years ago = 12 × 3 = 36 years
Therefore,
Son's present age = (12 + 2) = 14 years
fathers age = (36 + 2) = 38 years

Thankyou ☺☺
