    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the present age of Ankit and Bhavesh be '3x' years and '5x' years, respectively.

    So, present age of Karan = 2/5 × 5x = 2x years

    Karan's present age = (15 + 5) = 20 years.

    So, 2x = 20

    Or, x = 10

    Required sum = (3x + 5x) = (8x) = (8 × 10) = 80 years
