Let Arun be 3x and Anu be 2x
Now Arun is 5 years elder than Anu five years ago, so
Arun's age 5 yrs ago = 3x-5
Anu's age 5 yrs ago = 2x-5
(3x-5) = (2x-5)+5
3x-5 = 2x (Since -5 and +5 got canceled)
3x-2x-5 = 0
x-5 = 0
x = 5
So Arun = 3x = 3×5 = 15
Anu = 2×5 = 10
Hope it helps

let the age of Anu be x yrs,then
age of Arun=x+5yrs,
.°.ATP,
x/x-5=3/2
=>2(x)=3(x-5)
=>2x=3x-15
=>15=3x-2x
.°.x=15
hence, present age of Anu is 15 yrs
present age of Arun will be (15+5)yrs
=20yrs
