  1. Answer:

    15 & 45 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given: The man is 3 times as old as his son.

    Let the present age of son be x.

    The present age of the man = 3x

    Again,

    After 15 years,

    The age of the son = x+15

    The age of the man = 3x+15

    A/Q,

    2×( The age of son) = The age of man

    => 2(x+15) = 3x+15

    => 2x+30 = 3x+15

    => 3x-2x = 30-15

    x = 15 years.

    Therefore, The present age of son = 15 years

    The present age of man = 3x = 3× 15 = 45 years.
