Hey friend here is your answer .
Let the present age of Divya be x years
Hence present age of Gulshan is 2x years
Age of Divya, 3 years before is (x – 3) years
Age of Gulshan, 3 years ago is (2x – 3) years
Given (2x – 3) = (x – 3) + 5
2x – 3 = x + 2
2x – x = 2 + 3
x = 5
Hence Divya’s present age is 5 years.
Gulshan’s present age is 10 years
Let the present age of Divya be x years
