    A) 33....

    if the present age be x years.
    father's will be (3x+3)years..
    so, (3x+3+3)=2(x+3)+10
    or, x=10
    so the fathers present age =(3x+3)=(3*10+3)years =33years..

    Let the present age of son be x yrs.
    Fathers age = 3 + 3x

    now, three years hence,

    3 + (3+ 3x) = 10 + 2 (x+3)
    x = 10

    Fathers present age = 3 + 3x
    = 3 + 3(10)
    = 33 yrs ans

    fathers age is f = 3s+3
    son age is=s
    from next statement
    hence 3 year,
    father=f+3,
    son=s+3,
    f+3=10+2(s+3)
    from first statement we know that,
    3s+3+3=10+2(s+3),
    solving this,
    son age s=10,
    fathers age is = 3*10+3=33.

    ans = A

    at present f=3+3s ..(1)
    3 yrs hence
    f=f+3 and s=s+3
    f+3=10+2(s+3)
    f+3=10+2s+6
    from1
    3+3s+3=10+2s+6
    s=10
    f=3+3*s
    f=3+3*10=33
