Answer 2

Answer:

5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present ages of Sharad and Gagan be 7x years and 6x years.

after 5 years, the ratio becomes 8:7.

According to the question,

(7x+5)/(6x+5) =8/7

7*(7x+5)=8*(6x+5)

49x+35=48x+40

49x-48x=40-35

x=5 years

Therefore,

the present age of Sharad is 7x=7*5=35 years

the present age of Gagan is 6x=6*5=30 years.

The difference between their present ages be

= (35-30)years

=5 years.

Hence, The difference between their present ages is 5 years.
