Correct Answer: Present age of son is 15 years & Present age of A is 45 years.
Explanation:
Let, 5 years ago the age of son was x year
5 years ago the age of A was 4x year
Present age of son = (x + 5) years
Present age of A = (4x + 5) years
According to the question,2(x+5+15)=4x+5+15
2x + 40 = 4x + 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Present age of son = (10 + 5) or 1’5 years
Present age of A = (4 x 10 + 5) or 45 years
