Answer 1

Answer:

arjun age 20 and shriya age 10

Answer 2

Answer:

Their present age:

Shriya 10 yrs and Arjun 20 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Shriya = x

By given, present age of Arjun is 2x

Before 5 years, Arjun = 2x - 5 and Shriya = x - 5

Given 2x - 5 = 3 (x - 5)

⇒ 3x - 2x = 15 - 5

⇒ x = 10

∴ Shriya's present age = 10 yrs and Arjun's present age = 15 yrs
