(1) 12 years
(2) 15 years
(3) 20 years
(4) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 years=harish

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The age difference will be the same.

three yrs ago ,

R:H =2: 3 { difference of 1}

five yrs hence {from present },

R:H= 4:5 {difference of 1}

The yrs taken from 2 to 4 or 3 to 5 will be 8 yrs.

Difference or gap between 2 and 4 or 3 and 5 is 2.

so, 2=8

1=4

3=12 {harish 3 yrs before age}

2=8 {rajesh 3 yrs before age}

present age,

Rajesh =8+3 =11yrs

Harish=12+3=15yrs
