Correct option is B)
Let the age of father =x years
The sum of the age of 2 children =y years
According to the first condition
⇒x=3y.....eq1 After 5 years ⇒ Father's age =x+5
⇒ The sum of ages of his two children =y+10
According to the second condition
⇒x+5=2(y+10)⇒x+5=2y+20
⇒x−2y=15....eq2
Put the value of x from eq1
⇒3y−2y=15⇒y=15 Put y=15 in eq1 ⇒x=3×15⇒x=45
Hence, father age =45 years

Let the age of first son be x and of second son be y.
Then, the father's present age be 3(x + y).
According to the question,
After 5 years, the father's age will be two times the sum of the ages of his two children.
3x+y+5=2x+5+y+5
⇒3x+3y+5=2x+10+2y+10
⇒3x+3y-2x-2y=20-5 ⇒x+y=15 ⇒3x+y=45
Hence, the present age of the father is 45 years.

Father's age is three times the sum of ages of his two children. After 5 years, his age will be twice the sum of ages of two children. Find the age of father.
Let the age of two children be x and y
So, the father’s present age = 3(x + y)
After five years,
Age of two children = (x + 5) + (y + 5) years
= ( x + y + 10) years
So, the age of father after five years = 3(x + y) + 5
= 3x + 3y + 5
According to the question,
3x + 3y + 5 = 2(x + y + 10)
⇒ 3x + 3y + 5 = 2x + 2y + 20
⇒ 3x – 2x + 3y – 2y = 20 – 5
⇒ x + y = 15
So, the age of two children = 15 years
And the age of father = 3(15) = 45years
Hence, the age of father is 45 years and the age of his two children is 15 years.
