A father is 6 times as old as his son and 3 times as old as his daughter. If the daughter is 5 years older than the son. how old is each.?

Let the father age is x years.
son age= x/6
daughter age= x/3
and according to question
x/3 = x/6 + 5
=> x/3 - x/6 = 5
=> x/6 = 5
=> x = 30 years.
father's age = 30 years,
son's age = 30/6 = 5 years.
daughter's age = 30/3= 10 years...
