If thrice the age of the son is added to the father then the sum would be 56. But if twice the age of father is added to the son then the total would be 72. Find the ages of father and son.
Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 32, 8 B) 8, 32 C) 56, 72 D) 72, 56 E) 32, 4
Let the age of the father be x and the age of the son be y   x+3y=56---Eq1   2x+y=72--Eq2   multiplying Eq1 by 2 and solving the above equations we get y=8   Substitute y=8 in 2 we get x=32   answer is 32, 8 correct ans is 32, 8
