$\textbf {\underline {\underline {Step\:- by\: - step\: Explanation}}}$

Given,

Ratio of present ages of Mohan and Krishna = 8:5

After 8 years, Mohan's age = 40 years

So,

Present age of Mohan = 40 - 8

= 32 years

Now,

$\dfrac {Age\:of\:Mohan}{Age\:of\:Krishna} = \dfrac {8}{5}$

➡ Age of krishna = 32 × $\dfrac {5}{8}$

= ${\boxed {\sf\:{20 years}}}$

So,

Krishna's age before 5 years = 20 - 5

= 15 years

Hence,

$<b>Krishna was 15 years old before 5 years.$
