Answer:

Son age be 10

And, the father age be 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the present ages is shown below:

Let us assume the son age be x

And, the father age be x + 30

Now after five hence, their ages are

Son age = x + 5

And, the father age be = x + 30 + 5

Also the father age is thrice of his son age

So the equation would be

3(x + 5) = x + 35

3x + 15 = x + 35

2x = 20

x = 10

The son age is 10

And, the father age is = 10 + 30 = 40
