Let the age of one cousin be x years.
Then, the age of the other cousin will be (x+10) years.
15 years ago, the elder one was twice as old as the younger one.
15 years ago, age of the elder one was (x-5) years and the age of younger one was (x-15) years.
So, the equation formed is
(x-5) = 2(x-15)
On solving the equation, we will get x as 25.
So, their present ages are 25 years and 35 years.
Hope it helps.
Please mark my answer as brainliest.
And BEST OF LUCK for your exams.
Thank You.
