Question

The age of Amal is five years more than that of Bimal. 5 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 3:2. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Bimal be x

Let age of Amal  be x+5

5 years ago,

Bimal be x-5

Amal be x

x/x-5=3/2

⇒2x=3x-15

x=15

So, the age of Bimal is 15yr

      the age of Amal is 15+5=20yr

Answer 2

Answer:

Amal's Age = 20 years, Bimal's age = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The present age of Bimal be X years.

Then the age of Amal = ( X + 5) years.

Five years ago, age of Amal = ( X +5 - 5) = X years.

Five years ago, age of Bimal = ( X -5) years.

According to question ,

Amal : Bimal = 3:2

X / X -5 = 3/2

2 ( X )= 3 ( X -5)  

2X = 3X -15

3X - 2X = 15

X = 15 years.

Present age of Bimal = X = 15 years

And,

Present age of Amal = X +5 = 15+5 = 20 years.
