what if we assume son is as old as his father is today then there ages total will be 126
s + 2f = 126
if s = f, then
f + 2f = 126
f = 126/3
f = 42 is father's present age
:
and if father is as old as his son is today then there ages total will be 38. find there present ages
2s = 38
s = 19 is son's present age
