94 years

If present ages of Aunt Agatha=A, Uncle Roger=R, Suzanne=S, Bernard=B, then
A/R=5/6 ---(i) & S/B=5/6 ---(ii)
Given (A-5) + (S-5)=60, S+A=70 ---(iii)
From (i) 6A=5R & from (iii) A=70-S, so 6(70-S)=5R , 420- 6S=5R ---(iv)
From (ii) 6S=5B, substituting in (iv), 420- 5B= 5R or B+R=84 ---(v)
So ages of Bernard and Uncle Roger after 5 years= (B+5) +(R+5)=B+R+10 =84+10 =94

Let ages of aunt nd auncle 5:6 ratio then ages are 5x nd 6x
In same way chldrn ages 5y nd 6y
So 5yrs ago aunt, suzn total
(5x-5)+(5y-5)=60 >> x+y=14
Then aftr 5yrs ancle,bemard age total
(6x+5)+(6y+5)=6(x+y)+10=94

a:r:s:b=5:6:5:6
a+s=60 ..5 yr ago
10x=60+10=70...ie x=7;
r+b=42+42=84 ans

agatha/roger=5:6=suzanne/bemard
agatha+suzanne 5 years ago=60 means-> (5x-5)+(5x-5)=60
10X=70 therefore x=7;
we need bemard+roger=6X+6x=12x
as x=7;
12*7=84;

A-> agatha, R->Roger, S-> suzanne, B->bemard
it same as ratio, A:R::S:B= 5:6::5:6
A + S, 5yrs ago = (5x-5) +(5x-5)= 60
10x=60+10=70
X=7
B+R = ? // five years hence
(6x+5) + (6x+5)= > (42 +5) + (42+5)= 94.....
