Assumption
Rakesh age be p
Therefore,
= p + 24
Ten years back :-
= p + 24 - 10
= p + 14
= p - 10
Situation :-
5(p - 10) = p + 14
5p - 50 = p + 14
5p - p = 14 + 50
4p = 64
p = 16
= 16 + 24
= 40

Let the age of Rakesh be x.
Kiran's will be ( x + 24 )
Before ten years
Rakesh = x - 10
Kiran = x + 24 - 10
= x + 14
Now,
According to Question
5 ( x - 10 ) = x + 14
==> 5x - 50 = x + 14
==> 5x - x = 14 + 50
==> 4x = 64
==> x =
x = 16
______________
To Present ages :
( put the value of x )
Rakesh = 16 years old
Kiran = 16 + 24
= 40 years old.
