Answer» Step-by-step explanation: $\bf{\underline{\underline\red{Given:-}}}$ Sreeja is TEN YEARS younger than Rahul. FIVE years ago , Rahul is THREE times as old as Sreeja. $\bf{\underline{\underline\blue{To\:Find:-}}}$ The present age of Rahul. $\bf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}$ Sreeja is ten years younger than Rahul. Let the present age of age of Rahul be x And Present age of Sreeja = (x - 10) Five years ago:- Age of Rahul = x - 5 Age of Sreeja = (x - 10) - 5 = x - 10 - 5 = x - 15. Rahul is three times as old as Sreeja. $\rm \implies(x - 5) = 3(x - 15)$ $\rm \implies x - 5= 3x - 45$ $\rm \implies x - 3x= - 45 + 5$ $\rm \implies - 2x= - 40$ $\rm \implies x= \dfrac{ - 40}{ - 2}$ $\rm \implies x= 20$ Present age of Rahul = x = 20years Present age of Sreeja = x-10 = 10years
