Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of brother1 before 5years was xyears

And the age of brother2 be y years

A.T.Q,

x/y=1/3

3x=y. equation 1

present ages of brother1=x+5 and brother2=y+5

x+5/y+5=1/2

y+5=2x+10

put y=3x

3x+5=2x+10

x=5years

y=15

Present ages are 10 years and 20 years

Age after 5 years=15 years,25years

ratio=3:5
