Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Monu be 5x and the present age of Sonu be 2x

Age of Monu seventeen years ago = 5x - 17

Age of Sonu seventeen years ago = 2x - 17

5x - 17 / 2x - 17 = 4/1

(5x-17) x 1 = ( 2x - 17) x 4

5x-17 = 8x - 68

-17 + 68 = 8x-5x

51 = 3x

51/3 = x

17 = x

Hence , the present age of Monu = 5x = 5x17 = 85

and the present age of Sonu = 2x = 2x17 = 34
