Solution

Let Sarosh's present age be $x$ .
After 7 years Sarosh's age will be $x + 7$
and, his father's age will be $3 (x + 7)$ .
This is equal to 6 times Sarosh's present age, i.e. $= 6 x$
So,
$6 x = 3 (x + 7) = 3 x + 21$
$6 x - 3 x = 21$
$3 x = 21$
$x = 7$
Sarosh's present age is 7 years.

Father's age after 7 years is,
$6 \times 7 = 42 y e a r s$
His present age is,
$42 - 7 = 35 y e a r s$

$Sum of their present ages = 35 + 7 = 42$
