Answer 1

Answer:

10 years .......

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Jayesh is x year old.

and Paritosh is 2x years old.

and Ali is y years old.

then according to first condition,

2x+5=y-(1)

according to second condition,

3x=y-(2)

putting Y = 3x in equation first, we get,

2x+5=3x

3x-2x=5

x=5

Jayesh is 5 years old then age of Paritosh

=2x=2×5=10 years
