ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ritu's age = 15 years and her cousin's age = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let, Ritu;s age be x years and her cousins age be y years.

then,

x = 3y ----- (i)

after 5 years,

x + 5 = 2 (y + 5)

x + 5 = 2y + 10

from eq (i) ---

3y - 2y = 10 -5

y = 5 years

and,

x = 3y = 3*5 =15 years

hence, Ritu's age = 15 years and her cousin's age = 5 years.
