answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Let x years be present age of son. Hence present age pf parvathi is (55-x) years
5  years ago, age of son = (x-5) years
5 years ago, age of parvathi = (55-x)-5 = (50-x) years
 
we are given that, 50-x = 4(x-5) = 4x-20
 
hence 5x = 70 or x = 14
 
Hence, son's age = 14 years, Parvathi's age = 55-14 = 41 years
