Let's denote Subash's current age as S and his father's current age as F.

From the problem, we know two things:

1. Subash is half his father’s age now. So, S = 1/2 * F or F = 2S.
2. Fifteen years ago, Subash was one-third of his father’s age. So, S - 15 = 1/3 * (F - 15).

Now, we can substitute F from the first equation into the second equation:

S - 15 = 1/3 * (2S - 15)
3S - 45 = 2S - 15
3S - 2S = 45 + 15
S = 60

So, Subash is currently 60 years old. After 5 years, Subash will be 60 + 5 = 65 years old.
