Suchita Is older than Raj by 10 years. 5 years ago the respective ratio between Suchita’s age and
Raj’s age was 7 : 5. What is Suchita’s present age ? (in years)

• 40 years
  
  If present ages of Suchita=x and Raj=y, then
  x-y=10 ---(i) &
  (x-5)/(y-5)=7/5 or 5x- 7y=-10 ---(ii)
  On solving (i) & (ii), x=40, y=30

  let raj's age be 'x'
  suchita's age be 'x+10'
  
  five years ago means
  
  raj's age be'x-5'
  suchita's age be'x+10-5'='x+5'
  
  their ages are in the ratio '7:5'
  then
  (x+5)/(x-5)=7/5
  x=30
  suchita's age=35
  raj's age=25
