8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
let ashu age =x and mother age=y
5 years ago ashu age=x-5 mother= y-5

==>x-5=3(y-5) {5 years ago .....three times old}
==>x-5=3y-15-->1
==>x+5=2(y+5) {after 5 years......twice old}
==>x+5=2y+10-->2

multiply eq--1 with 2 and eq --2 with 3
3x+15=6y+30
2x-10=6y-30
(-) (+) (-) (+)
--------------------
x+25=60
x=60-25
x=35

so answer is 35

5 years ago ashu age x
her mother age 3x
5 years after
2(x+5)=3x+5
x=5

5 yrs ago Ashu age= X
5yrs ago ashu's mother age=3x
And
After 5 yrs age of Ashu is 2(X+5) and ashu's mother age is 3x+5
2(X+5)=3x+5
2x+10=3x+5
10-5=3x-2x
X=5
And now age of Ashu now is 2(X+5)
2(5+5)
20
So now age of Ashu is 20 yrs
