The present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago. If 5 years hence ,the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter. Find their present ages

Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years

The fathers present age is 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of daughter be x

Let the present age of father be y

5 years ago;

Daughter's age = x - 5

Fathers age = y - 5

If the present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago, then;

y - 5 = 3(x-5)

y - 5 = 3x-15

y = 3x - 10 1

In 5 years time;

Daughters age = x + 5

Fathers age = y + 5

If the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter in 5 years time then;

y+5 = 2(x+5)

y+5 = 2x + 10

y = 2x + 5 2

Equate 1 and 2;

3x - 10 = 2x + 5

3x - 2x = 5 + 10

x = 15

Since y = 2x + 5

y = 2(15) + 5

y = 35

Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years

The fathers present age is 35 years
