    Hi Gayathri,

    Here is explanation :
    Lets Suppose present age of son is x and present age of father is 60 -x .

    Now from the statement of 6 year ago, we can write it like :
    (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
    54 - x = 5x - 30
    6x = 84
    x = 14.
    Son age after 6 years will be, (x+ 6) i.e. 20 years..
