Answer:
Their present ages are
A= 20 years , B= 15 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let present age of B be x
so, present age of A = x+5
5 years ago
age of A = X+5-5 =x
age of B= x-5
Their ratio = 3:2
i e
A/B= 3/2
x/x-5= 3/2
2x= 3(x-5)
2x= 3x-15
15=3x-2x
15= x
therefore x = 15
therefore B's age is 15 years and
A's age is x+5 = 20 years
