Answer 2

Answer:

Atul's present age - 19 years

Parul's present age - 7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Atul's age be x years and parul's age be y years

According to the question,

x - 3 = 4(y - 3)

x - 3 = 4y - 12

x - 4y + 9 = 0

x = 4y - 9

And, x + 5 = 2(y + 5)

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x - 2y = 5

4y - 9 - 2y = 5

2y = 14

y = 7

x = 4y - 9

= 4(7) - 9

= 28 - 9 = 19

Therefore, Atul's age - 19 years

Parul's age - 7 years
