Answer 2

Answer:

Age of swara = 10 years

Age of swati = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of swara be x  and the present age of swati be 2·x

According to given condition : 5 years ago swara's age was three times as swati's age

⇒ 3·(x - 5) = 2·x - 5

⇒ 3·x - 15 = 2·x - 5

⇒ x = -5 + 15

⇒ x = 10

Hence, the present age of swara be 10 years

and present age of swati be 20 years
