Answer:

Here is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step -1: Forming equations.

                  Let, present age of son = x

                  And, present age of father = 3x+3

                  3 years later, age of son = x+3

                  age of father = 3x+3+3=3x+6                                  ...(i)

                  According to the given condition, age of father = 10+2(x+3)        ...(ii)

Step -2: Solving for x

                  From (i) and (ii)

                  ∴3x+6=10+2(x+3)

                  ⇒3x+6=10+2x+6

                  ⇒3x−2x=10+6−6

                  ⇒x=10

                  ∴Present age of son = 10 

                  and present age of father = 3x+3=3×10+3=33

Hence, son’s present age is 10 years and father’s
