let the 5 years ago age of Nuri be 3x and sonu's age be x then,
★ Ten years later age of sonu is
(x+5+10)=>(x+15)
★Ten years later age of nuri is (3x+5+10)=>3x+15
=>according to question:
3x+15=2(x+15)
3x+15=2x+30
x=15
we have:
age of sonu:
x+5=(15+5)=>20 years
age of nuri:
(3x+5)=45+5=>50 years

Let 5 years ago, Sonu's age = ( x ) years
And Nuri's age was = ( 3x ) years
10 years later, Sonu's age = ( x + 5 + 10 ) years = ( x + 15 ) years
And Nuri's age = ( 3x + 5 + 10 ) years = ( 3x + 15 ) years
According to the question :
(3x + 15) = 2(x + 15)
3x + 15 = 2x + 30
x = 15
Hence, present age of Sonu = ( x + 5 ) = 20 years
And Present age of Nuri = ( 3x + 5) = 50 years
And Nuri's age was = ( 3x ) years
10 years later, Sonu's age = ( x + 5 + 10 ) years = ( x + 15 ) years
And Nuri's age = ( 3x + 5 + 10 ) years = ( 3x + 15 ) years
According to the question :
(3x + 15) = 2(x + 15)
3x + 15 = 2x + 30
x = 15
Hence, present age of Sonu = ( x + 5 ) = 20 years
And Present age of Nuri = ( 3x + 5) = 50 years
