present age of the father.

Explanation:
Let the sons present age be x years. Then, fathers present age = (3x + 3) years
(3x + 3 + 3) = 2 (x + 3) + 10
3x + 6 = 2x + 16
x = 10.
Hence, fathers present age = (3x + 3) = ((3 * 10) + 3) Years= 33 Years
Let the sons present age be x years. Then, fathers present age = (3x + 3) years
(3x + 3 + 3) = 2 (x + 3) + 10
3x + 6 = 2x + 16
x = 10.
Hence, fathers present age = (3x + 3) = ((3 * 10) + 3) Years= 33 Years
