Answer 1

Answer:

Five years ago, age of Ganesh =x−5

Age of Gouri =3x−5

After ten years, age of Ganesh =x+10+5

Age of Gouri =3x+10+5=3x+15

According to the question,

3x+15=2(x+15)

3x+15=2x+30

3x−2x=30−15

x=15

Present age of Ganesh =x+5=15+5=20 years

Present age of Gouri =3x+5=3(15)+5=50 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of Ganesh be x.

Five years ago age of Ganesh:- x - 5

Age of Gowri :- 3x - 5

After 10 years age of Games = x + 10 + 5

Age of Gowri = 3x + 10 +5

= 3x + 15

According to the question :-

3x+15=2(x+15)

3x+15=2x+30

3x−2x=30−15

x=15

Present age of Ganesh =x+5=15+5=20 years

Present age of Gouri =3x+5=315+5=50 years

Hope it helped you.
