uLet the present age of Madhu and Madhuri be 5x and 9x.
After 3 yrs their ages will be ( 5x + 3 ) and ( 9x + 3 )
Ratio of their ages after 3 yrs =
(5x + 3)/ ( 9x + 3 ) = 2/3
➡ 3( 5x + 3 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )
➡ 15x + 9 = 18x + 6
➡ 15x - 18x = 6-9
➡ - 3x = -3
➡ x = 1
Therefore present ages of Madhu and Madhuri are 5x = 5 year and 9x = 9 year
Hope it will help you !!!
