Step-by-step explanation:
Solution;
Let the ages of A and B be x years and y years respectively.
By Question;
x - 5 = 4 (y - 5)
or, x-5=4y-20
or, x=4y-15...........(i)
Again;
By question;
x + 5 = 2 (y + 5)
or, 4y-15+5=2y+10 [From (i)]
or, 4y-2y=10+15-5
or, 2y=20
or, y=10
Now, Putting y=10 in (i)
x=4y-15
=4x10-15
=40-15
=25
Hence, the present ages of A and B are 25 amd 10 respectively.
