Answer:
present age be x
age of Archana 5 years later be x+5
age of Archana 8 years ago be x-8
now the product is 30
so
(x+5)(x-8)=30
x^2-8x+5x-40=30
x^2-3x-70=0
x^2-10x+7x-70=0
x(x-10)+7(x-10)=0
(x+7)(x-10)=0
x=10
let check....
15*2=30
30=30
here the answer here present age is 10

Let her present age be x.
So,
Her age after 5 years = x+5
Before 8 years = x -8
According to the question ..
(x+5)×(x-8)=30
=> x² - 3x - 40 = 30
x² - 3x - 70 = 0
{using middle term split method}
x² - 10 x + 7x -70 = 0
x(x-10) +7(x-10) = 0
(x+7) (x-10) = 0
Putting..
x+7 = 0
x = -7
and
x-10 = 0
x = 10
Rejecting x = -7 as age can't be negative.
syo, her present age (x) = 10
Her age after 5 years (x+5) = 15
Her age before 8 years (x-8) = 2
Verifying answer
15 × 2 = 30
