Answer 2

Answer:

Present age of Atul = 15 years

Present age of Sona = 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Present age of Atul be x years

and Present age of Sona be y years.

• First condition says that Atul is 5 years older than Sona, i.e.;

                 x = y + 5 ------------ [Equation 1]

• Second condition says that 5 years ago , Atul was twice as old as Sona, i.e.;

                  (x - 5) = 2*(y - 5)

                  y + 5 - 5 = 2*y - 10   {using equation 1}

                      2*y - y = 10

                          y = 10 years

Putting y in equation 1, we get x = 10 + 5 = 15 years

Therefore, Present age of Atul is 15 years and Present age of Sona is 10 years.
