Answer:
let there present age be x
ratio of there ages is 3:5
=
3x/5x
after 5 years ratio will add 5 on numerator and denominator.
that is,
(3x+5)/(5x+5)= 4x/5x
by cross multiplying them

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the rational between ages of Arvind and Renu be x
The ages of Arvind and Renu are in the ratio 3:5
Thus there ages are, Arvind 3x and Renu 5x
Five years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 4:5
5 year hence their ages will be
Arvind’s age 3x + 5
Renu’s age 5x + 5
The ratio of their ages
3x + 5 / 5x + 5 = 4/5
Cross multiplication
5( 3x + 5 ) = 4 ( 5x + 5 )
15x + 25 = 20x + 20
15x - 20x = 20 - 25
—5x = -5
5x = 5
x = 5/5
x = 1
The rational is 1
Their respective ages
Arvind’s age 3x = 3 × 1 = 3 years
Renu’s age 5x = 5 × 1 = 5 years
Answer the Arvind’s age is 3 years and Renu’s age is 5 years
