5 years ago, Dilip's age was 4 times Sumit's then age. After 5 years from now, Dilip's age will be 3 times Sumit's then age. What is the present age of Sumit? Correct Answer 25 Years

Let Dilip's present age be "a"

and, Sumit's present age be "b"

So according to Question,

a - 5 = 4(b - 5)

⇒ a + 15 = 4b      ----(1)

Similarly,

a + 5 = 3(y + 5)

⇒ a - 10 = 3b      ----(2)

Solving (1) and (2) simultaneously

b = 25

∴ Sumit's present age is 25 years.
