Answer:
hey mate
Let the ages of Anjali and Ashu be 2x & 3x respectively
5 years hence their ages will be 2x + 5 & 3x + 5
The ratio is given as 3 :4
so we get equation
2x + 5/3x + 5 = 3/4
》( 2x + 5 ) × 4 = ( 3x + 5 ) × 3
》8x + 20 = 9x + 15
》20 - 15 = 9x - 8x
》5 = x
》x = 5
So the present age of Anjali is 2 × 5 = 10 years
And the present age of Ashu is 3 × 5 = 15 yrs
hope it helps!!
