Explanation:

✬ Murali's Age = 15 Years ✬

✬ Mozhi's Age = 20 Years ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mozhi's age is 5 years more than that of Murali's age.

Five years ago ratio of their ages was 3:2.

To Find:

What are their present ages ?

Solution: Let present age of Murali be x years. Therefore,

➟ Present age of Mozhi = (x + 5) years

Five years ago their ages were

Murali's age = (x – 5) years

Mozhi's age = (x + 5 – 5) years

Ratio of their ages = 3 : 2

⟹ x/x – 5 = 3/2

⟹ 2 × x = 3(x – 5)

⟹ 2x = 3x – 15

⟹ 15 = 3x – 2x

⟹ 15 = x

So , present age of Murali is 15 years and

➮ Present age of Mozhi is 15 + 5 years

➮ 20 years.
