Hiii. Hope it helps.
--------------------------
Let the brother's age be x
sister's age = 3x
5 years ago
_________
Brother's age= x-5
Sister's age= 3x-5
ATQ
3x-5=5(x-5)
3x-5=5x-25
-5+25=5x-3x
20=2x
x=20÷2
x=10
Brother's age=x=10
Sister's age= 3x= 3×10= 30
Thus, sister's age is 30 years..

Let brothers age be = x
Then sisters age = 3x
Five years before
Broher = x-5
Sister = 3x-5
As per question five years before sister was ×5 times of brothers age
So,
3x-5=5(x-5)
3x-5=5x-25
3x-5x= -25+5
-2x=-20
- and - wil cancel
So
2x=20
X=20÷2
X=10
Brother =x = 10
Sister = 3x = 3×10=30
So the present age of sister is 30
