Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Asha be 7x and Sushma be 2x respectively.

After 8 years, the ratio of their ages is 5:2

7x+8/2x+8=5/2

Using cross multiplication,

14x+16=10x+40

14x-10x=40-16

4x=24

x=6

Present age of Asha's = 7x=7X6=42 years

Present age of Sushma's=2x=2X6=12 years
