denoted by E.

24. Let the present age of Anubhab and his son be x years and y years respectively. Five
years hence, age of Anubhab will be (x+5) years and five years hence his son’s age will be
(y+5) years. By question, (x+5) = 3(y+5)
i.e., x – 3y = 15– 5
i.e., x – 3y = 10 … (i)
Five years ago, Anubhab’s age was (x–5) years and that of his son was (y – 5) years.

By question, (x–5)=7(y – 5)
i.e., x – 7y = 5–35
i.e., x – 7y = –30 … (ii)

Now subtracting (ii) from (i),

From (i), x= 10 + 3 10 = 40

Hence, the present ages of Anubhab and his son are 40 years and 10 years.
