Let x years ago the ratio of their age was 3 : 5
According to the question
${40 - x}/{60 - x}= 3/5$

Let the present age of brothers be x and 2x years.
Then, 5 years ago,
${x - 5}/{2x -5} = 1/3$
3x - 15 = 2x - 5
x = 15 - 5 = 10
Age of elder brother
= 10 × 2 = 20
Required ratio
= ${10 + 5}/{20 + 5} = 15/25$ = 3 : 5

x= 10
Their present age

After 5 years their required ratio
= $15/25 = 3/5$ = 3 : 5

Let father’s age be 5x years.
Son’s age = 2x years
5x × 2x = 1000
