The repeated identity is the age of Vaidev's cousin. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
The difference in age between Vaidev and Vaidev's cousin remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Vaidev and Vaidev's cousin
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
His son's present age
= 1 u - 5
= 1 x 10 - 5
= 10 - 5
= 5
Vaidev's present age
= 6 u - 5
= 6 x 10 - 5
= 60 - 5
= 55
