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.

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` .....(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
∴ x – y = 2 ......(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii)
∴ x = `square`, y = `square`
Ans: The original number = `square`
