Verified answer

Answer:

The present age of father is 35 years and son is 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of the son be x.

So, the father's age is 25+x.

Five years ago, the son's age was x-5.

The father's age was (25+x)-5 = 20+x.

Now , according to the given question

20+x = 6×(x-5)

or, 20 +x = 6x - 30

or, 20+30 = 6x - x

or, 5x = 50

or, x= 10.

Therefore the present age of the son is 10 yrs and the father is (10 + 25) = 35yrs.
