Answer 2

Answer:

Sidharth= 20yrs; Akshatha = 60yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Sidharth be x,

Then the age of Akshatha will be 3x

Before 10 yrs :-

Sidharth's age=5 (x-10) = 5x-50

Akshatha's age = 3x-10

hence, x =

• 5x-50= 3x-10
• 5x- 3x= -10+50
• 2x= 40

$x = \frac{40}{2}$

$x = 20$

Hence, Sidharth's present age is 20, Akshatha's present age is (3x= 3×20) 60yrs
