Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10 has been added in the LHS because it was the mother's age 10 yrs before her age after 5 yrs

Answer 2

The present age of ashu is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of ashu is x.

5 years ago, the age of ashu = x-5

After 5 years, the age of ashu = x+5

Ashu's mother was three times as old as ashu, 5 years ago.

5 years ago, the age of mother = 3(x-5) = 3x-15

After 5 years, she will be twice as old as ashu.

After 5 years, the age of Mother = 2(x+5) = 2x+10

The difference between mother age is 10.

$2x+10-(3x-15)=10$

$2x+10-3x+15=10$

$-x+25=10$

$-x=10-25$

$-x=-15$

$x=15$

Therefore, the present age of ashu is 15.
