​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate !

correct answer is 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of present age= 1:2

let ages be x,2x

5yrs back ratio was 1:3

so 5yrs back ages be x-5/2x-5 = y/3y

so after 5 yrs ages are x+5/2x+5

by solving we get 1st age = 10yrs ,

2nd age = 20yrs.

so after 5yrs ratio

= x+5/2x+5

= 15/25

= 3/5

= 3:5
