Answer 1

Heya!
--------

========================================================

♦Let the age of Sailija be 'x' years .

♦Let the age of Payal be 'y' years .


✴According to the given question =>
==============================


x + y = 29......................(1 )


( y - 3 ) - ( x - 3 ) = 5


y - 3 - x + 3 = 5

y - x = 5......................(2)


From (1) and (2)


2y = 34

y => 17


x => 29 - 17

x => 12



♦Hence present age of Salija is 12 years .

♦Present age of Payal is 17 years .


✴Ages 2 years later =>
===================


♦Salija => 14 years .

♦Payal => 19 years .
