Answer 1

let present Rajesh age be x
and Kiran age be y
so
y=x+24
10 years ago
y-10=5(x-10)
5x-y=40
by solving
we get
Rakesh age is 16
Kiran age is 40

Answer 2

Answer:

• Rakesh's age = 16
• Kiran's age = 40

Step by step explanation:

Rakesh's age = x

Kirnan's age = 24 + x

10 years back ;

(24+x) - 10 = 5 (x-10)

(24+x) - 10 = 5x - 50

x + 14 = 5x - 50

4x = 64

x = 16.

Rakesh's age = 16.

Kiran's age = 24 + 16 = 40.
