Let the daughter's age be x
⇒ Mother's age = 3x
⇒ Father's age = 3x + 5
According to question,
x = 10
⇒ Father's age = 3(10) + 5 = 35 years
But, when daughter was born
Father's age = (35 - 10) years = 25 years

Father is 5 yrs older than the mother and the mother's age now is thri...
The question states that the father is 5 years older than the mother and the mother's age is currently three times the age of the daughter. It also mentions that the daughter is currently 10 years old. We need to determine the father's age when the daughter was born.
Let's break down the information given in the question:
- Mother's age: We are not given the exact age of the mother, but we know that it is three times the age of the daughter. Since the daughter is currently 10 years old, the mother's age would be 3 * 10 = 30 years old.
- Father's age: The question states that the father is 5 years older than the mother. So, if the mother is 30 years old, the father would be 30 + 5 = 35 years old.
- Daughter's age: The question mentions that the daughter is currently 10 years old.
Now, we need to determine the father's age when the daughter was born. To do this, we need to subtract the daughter's age from the current age of the father.
Father's age when the daughter was born = Father's current age - Daughter's current age
Father's age when the daughter was born = 35 years - 10 years = 25 years
So, the father's age when the daughter was born is 25 years. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 25 years.
