Answer:
Let x be the present age of mohan and sohan then present age of mohan is 5x and that of sohan is 7x.
According to 1st condition -
Mohan's age will be 5x+9
Sohan's age will be 7x−9
⇒5x+9:7x−9=2:1
⇒7x−95x+9=12
⇒(5x+9)=2(7x−9)
⇒5x+9=14x−18
⇒5x−14x=−18−9
⇒−9x=−27
⇒x=3
Present age of mohan is 5x=5×3=15
Present age of sohan is 7x=7×3=21
hence, solved.
