Given, the sum of ages of father and his son is 60 years
Let present age of son = x
So, present age of father = 60 - x
After 14 years,
Age of son = x + 14
and age of father = 60 - x + 14 = (60 + 14) - x = 74 - x
Given, After 14 years, the age of father will be three times age of son
=> 74 - x = 3(x + 14)
=> 74 - x = 3x + 3 * 14
=> 74 - x = 3x + 42
=> 74 - x - 42 = 3x
=> 74 - 42 = 3x + x
=> 4x = 32
=> x = 3/4
=> x = 8
So, present age of son = x = 8 years
and present age of father = 60 - x = 60 - 8 = 52 years
