Answer :

Let age of B = x

Let age of A = x + 5

5 years ago, the ratio was 3:2

According to the question

(by cross multiplication)

3x = 2x + 10

3x-2x = 10

x = 10

Age of B = 10 years

Age of A = 10 + 5 = 15 years

5 years later,

Age of B = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 years

Age of A = x + 5 + 5 = 10 + 10 = 20 years
