Answer 1

Answer:

Pressent age of somesh is 10 Y/O

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Hema be x years

Hence present age of Somesh is 2x years

Age of Hema, 3 years before is (x – 3) years

Age of Somesh, 3 years ago is (2x – 3) years

Given (2x – 3) = (x – 3) + 5

2x – 3 = x + 2

2x – x = 2 + 3

x = 5

Hence Hema’s present age is 5 years.

Somesh’s present age is 10 years
