Answer: age of son is 10 and age of father is 33 Let the present ages of the father and son be x and y respectively. According to the question: X=3+3y 3y-x+3=0 -eq.1 3 years hence Father's age = x+3 Son's age = y+3 According to the question: X+3=10+{2(y+3)} X+3=10+2y+6 2y-x+13=0 -eq.2 Subtracting eq.2 from eq.1 2y-x+13=0 (-) 3y-x+3 =0 ----------------------- -y+10=0 Y=10 Solve for x from eq.1 X=3+3y X=3+3*10 X=33

Let father = x, son = y x = 3y + 3 x + 3 = 2(y + 3) + 10 3y + 3 + 3 = 2y + 6 + 10 3y + 6 = 2y + 16 3y - 2y = 16 - 6 y = 10 x = 3y + 3 x = 3 × 10 + 3 x = 30 + 3 x = 33 The present age of the father is 33 years and the present age of son is 10 years
