Hi there !
Here's the answer:

°•°•°•°•°<><><<><>><><>°•°•°•°•°•

Let present age of man be x
16 years hence, man's age = x+16
16 years ago,man's age = x-16

As per the question
Man's age after 16 years = 9 ×(his age before 16 years)

=> x+16 = 9(x-16)

=> x + 16 = 9x - 144

=> 8x = 160

=> x = 20

Present age of man = 20 years

•°• 5 years hence, his age = 25 years.
