Assumption
Age of Amit
= p years
Hence,
= (p + 19) years
= (p + 5) years
= (p + 19 + 5) years
= (p + 24) years
= 2 : 3
Therefore,
3 × (p + 5) = 2 × (p + 24)
3p + 15 = 2p + 48
3p - 2p = 48 - 15
p = 33
Hence,
= 33 + 19
= 52 years

Raju is 19 years younger than his cousin.
ratios of their ages after 5 years = 2:3

THEIR PRESENT AGES ?
Ⓢⓞⓛⓤⓣⓘⓞⓝ :-
Let age of cousin be x years
Age of Raju = x-19 years
After 5 years
Age of cousin = x+5 years
Age of Raju = x - 19 + 5 = x - 14 years
ACCORDING TO QUESTION
So, Present age of:
cousin = x = 52 years
Raju = x -19 = 52 - 19 = 33 years
