Let the present age of Rajan be x,

Rajan's\:age\:at\:the\:time\:of\:marriage \: = (x - 8) \\ \\ = > x = \frac{6}{5}(x - 8) \\ \\ = > 5x = 6x - 48 \\ \\ = > x = 48

\bold{Rajan's\:sister\:age\:at\:the\:the\:time\:of\:marriage}

 = (x - 8) - 10 = (x - 18) = 30

\bold{present\:age\:of\:Rajan's\:sister=\:30+ 8}

= 38 years

 \textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}

.............................................................................................

STEP 1: Define x:

Let Rajan be x years old now.

His sister will be x - 10 years old

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Find Rajan's age 8 years ago:

8 years ago, Rajan got married

Rajan = x - 8

His sister = x - 8 - 10 = x - 18

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: Find Rajan's age:

x = 6/5 ( x - 8)

Multiply both sides by 5:

5x = 6(x - 8)

Distribute 6:

5x = 6x - 48

Subtract both sides by 6x:

-x = - 48

x = 48

.............................................................................................

STEP 4: Find sister's age:

Sister = x - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38

.............................................................................................

Answer: Rajan's sister is 38 years old now.

 \textbf {Cheers}
