Answer:
Parul's age=7 years
Atul's age=19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let present age of Parul be x
Let present age of Atul be y
3 years ago
Parul's age=x-3
Atul's age=y-3
5 years after
Parul's age=x+5
Atul's age=y+5
According to question
y-3=4(x-3)
y-3=4x-12
y-4x+9=0.....(1)
y+5=2(x+5)
y+5=2x+10
y-2x-5=0......(2)
from(1),y=4x-9
Put y in (2)
4x-9-2x-5=0
2x-14
2x=14
x=7
y=19
Parul's age=7 years
Atul's age=19 years
