Answer 2

Let kiran's present age be "a" years.

Then Rakesh's present age = ( a - 24 ) years.

10 years ago,

• Kiran's age = ( Present age - 10 ) = ( a - 10 ) years

• Rakesh's age = ( Present age- 10 )

= { ( a -24 ) - 10 } years

= ( a - 34 ) years

According to question:

Kiran's age = 5 times the age of Rakesh

∴ a - 10 = 5 ( a - 34 )

⇒ a - 10 = 5a - 170

⇒ a - 5a = -170 + 10

⇒ -4a = -160

⇒ a = -160/-4

⇒ a = 40

Therefore,

Kiran's age = a = 40 years

Rakesh's age = ( a - 24 ) = ( 40 - 24 ) = 16 years
