Let the present age of Meeta be x
& the present age of Arashi be y
according to the question,
x=2y......i
x-5=3(y-5)
x-5=3y-15
x-3y=-15+5
x-3y=-10.....ii
putting value of x in equation ii
x-3y=-10
2y-3y=-10
-y=-10
y=10
putting value of y in equation i
x=2y
x=2×10
x=20
So, Meeta's present age is 20
&. Arshi's present age is 10
