Answer:
hlo
your answer is here !
Step-by-step explanation:
Let age of Romi be y
Nisha is 15 years elder than Romi = (y + 15).
So Nisha's age 5 years ago = (y + 15 – 5).
Romi's age before 5 years = (y – 5)
5 years ago,
Nisha is 3 times as old as Romi
(y + 15 – 5) = 3 (y – 5)
(y + 10) = (3y – 15)
2y = 25
⇒ y = 12.5
Romi's age = 12.5 years
Nisha's age = (y + 15) = (12.5 + 15) = 27.5 years.

Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-
Let us assume That, Nisha Present age is = x Years.
Than,
→ Romi Present age = (x - 15) Years.
So,
→ 5 Years, ago , Nisha was = (X - 5) years old.
→ 5 Years, ago , Romi was = (x - 15) - 5 = (x - 20) Years old.
A/q,
→ Nisha 5 Years ago = 3 * Romi 5 Years ago .
→ (x - 5) = 3(x - 20)
→ x - 5 = 3x - 60
→ x - 3x = -60 + 5
→ (-2x) = (-55)
→ x = 27.5 Years. (Ans).
Hence, Nisha Present age is 27.5 Years.
