Ratio of age of Ramya and Sonia =5:2
let age of Ramya =5x
and age of Sonia=2x
After 5 years
age of Ramya =5x+5 years
age of Sonia =2x+5 years
as the question ratio of age of Ramya and sonia =15:7
as the question after 5 years age of Ramya=15x years
after 5 years age of Sonia =7x
according to the question,
15x=5x+5
or,15x-5x=5
or,10x=5
or,x=1/2
therefore age of Ramya=1/2×5=2.5 years
and age of Sonia=1/2×2=1 years
