Answer:
let the present age of ridhi (Daughter)= x
then father's present age = 2.5 x
after 10 years scenerio
(2.5x + 10 ) = 2(x+10)
0.5x = 10
x = 20 or age of Daughter is 20
hence age of father will be 50 .(Or 2.5 times of 20)

Answer:
Let Ridhi's present age is = x year
Let Ridhi's father's age is = y year
According to question
y = 2.5*x ---- equation (a)
After ten years later
ridhi's age will be (x +10)
and his father age will be (y+10)
again, according to question
y+10 = 2(x+10)
y+10=2*x+2*10
y+10 =2x +20
y = 2x +20 -10
y =2x+10 ----- equation (b)
now, from equation (a) & (b)
we have,
2.5x = 2x+10
2.5x-2x =10
0.5x =10
x = 10/0.5 =20
then present age of ridhi is = x= 20 years
and his father's present age is = y =2.5x =2.5*20 =50
