Answer 1

Answer:

Hari's age is 10 years !!

Anushka's age is 5 years !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Hari be x years

and the present age of Anushka be y years

Given :- Hari is now twice as old as Anushka

i.e, x = 2y .... ( i )

also, Three years ago,

The age of Hari was ( x - 3 ) years

and the age of Anushka was ( y - 3 ) years !!

=> Hari was 5 years older than Anushka

i.e, ( x - 3 ) = 5 + ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = y + 2

x = y + 5 ..... ( ii )

Putting value of x from i in ii

2y = y + 5

y = 5

Also, x = 2y = 2 ( 5 ) = 10 years !!

So, their present age is

Hari's age is ( x ) 10 years !!

Anushka's age is ( y ) 5 years !!
