Expert Answer
Let the son's age be x years.
Mr. Ranjan's age is 7x years.
After 10 years, his son's age will be = (x + 10) years
After 10 years, Mr. Ranjan's age will be = (7x + 10) years
By the given condition,
(7x + 10) = 3(x + 10)
7x + 10 = 3x + 30
7x - 3x = 30 - 10
4x = 20 or x = 5
Son's age is 5 years.
Mr. Ranjan's age is 7 
5 = 35 years
