उत्तर
Let, present the age of Nuri = x years
Let, Sonu's present age = y years
five years ago
Nuri’s age = x - 5 years
Sonu's age = y - 5 years
x - 5 = 3(y - 5)
x – 3y = -10 ...(1)
ten years later
Nuri’s age = x + 10 years
Sonu's age = y + 10 years
x + 10 = 2(y + 10)
x – 2y = 10 ...(2)
By subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)
(x – 3y = -10) – (x – 2y = 10)
y = 20
Putting the value of y in equation (1)
x = 50
Hence, the present age of Nuri is 50 years and the present age of Sonu is 20 years.
