    Solution

    ATQ, Let the present age of тАШAmishaтАЩ and тАШBhuvanтАЩ be тАШaтАЩ years and тАШbтАЩ years, respectively. So, 2 ├Ч (b тАУ 5) = a Or, b = {(a + 10)/2} тАжтАжтАж. (I) Also, b = 0.8 ├Ч (a тАУ 5) Or, b = 0.8a тАУ 4 тАжтАжтАжтАж (II) Using Equation (I) and (II), we have; 2 ├Ч (0.8a тАУ 4) = a + 10 Or, 1.6a тАУ 8 = a + 10 Or, 0.6a = 18 So, a = 30 So, present age of тАШAmishaтАЩ = 30 years
