1. let age of my father be x years and that of mine be y years

   so according to first condition

   (x-5)+2y=65

   ie x+2y=70 (1)

   according to second condition

   (y-5)+3x=130

   ie 3x+y=135 (2)

   multiply (2) by 2

   we get

   6x+2y=270 (3)

   so subtract (1) from (3)

   we get

   5x=200

   ie x=40

   hence age of my father currently is 40 years
