Answer:

The father is 40 years old, and his daughter is 10 years old.

Explanation:

Given that a father is four times the age of his daughter, and after 5 years, he would be 3 times of daughter's age, then further after 5 years, to determine how many times he would be of his daughter's age, the following calculation must be done:

F = 4D

F + 5 = 3D

F = 40

D = 10

40 + 5 = 3 x (10 + 5)

45 = 45

Therefore, the father is 40 years old, and his daughter is 10 years old.
