let age of of mom is x yrs
son age is =x/2 yrs ( as per given conditions )

sum of age of 3 members of family is 100 yrs
son + mom +dad age =X/2 +X + X+5 =100
X + 2X +2X +!0/2 =100
5X +10 =200
5X= 200-10
5X =190
x=190/5 =38 yrs
therefor age of mom is 38 yrs
Age of dad is X+5= 38+5 = 43 yrs
age of son is X/2= 38/2=19 yrs
