Answer:

40 years old

16 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Son = 8 years old

his father is five times as old.

Father = 5 × 8

= 40 years

How old will the father be when he will be twice as old as his son?

Father = 2 × 8

= 16 years

Father:

Five times as old as son = 40 years old

Twice as old as his son = 16 years old
