Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 years ago ashoke age was x

so his mother age was            3x

after 5years according to the question, 3x+5= 2(x+5)

                                                                   3x+5=2x+10

                                                                          x=5

hence, ashok today age 5+5=10
