Divisibility of 11: If the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and the sum of the digits at even places of a number is zero or a multiple of 11, then that number is divisible by 11.As per divisibility rule of 11, difference = (x + 21) - 18 = x + 3=> x + 3 = 11 => x = 8
Let the age of the son be x and the age of the father be y.Therefore, x + y = 65 ..........(i)or, 2 x (x + 5) = (y + 5)or, 2x + 10 = y + 5or, 2x - y = 5 ...................(ii)From equations (i) and (ii), x = 20, y = 45
