Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arjun age = twice as old as Shriya = 2x.

Now shriya age will be x.

Five years ago his age is 3 times Shriya age.

Then, (2x-5) = 3 (x-5).

= 2x - 5 = 3 x - 15.

=>3x- 2x = 15 - 5.

=>x = 10.

Now their present ages be

Arjun = 2x

= 2* 10

= 20 years.

And Shriya= x

= 10 years.
