Let the age be x.
Ratio of their ages : 4:3
Akash’s age : 4x
Vineets age : 3x
3x + 5 = 20
x
3x = 20 - 5 = 15
x = 15/3
= 5
3x = 3x5=15
4x= 4x5=20
Hence when Vineet Will be 20, Akash will be 25
So 25 - 3 = 22

Solution :-
Let us assume that, Akash present age is 4x years and vineet present age is 3x years .
So,
→ After 5 years vineet's age will be = (3x + 5) years .
A/q,
→ 3x + 5 = 20
→ 3x = 20 - 5
→ 3x = 15
→ x = 5
then,
→ Present age of Akash = 4x = 4 * 5 = 20 years .
therefore,
→ Akash's age before 3 years was = 20 - 3 = 17 years (Ans.)
