    Solution

    ATQ,

    5 years from now, let the age of Asha = ‘3x’ years

    Then, 5 years from now, age of Kiran = (4/3) × 3x = ‘4x’ years

    So, present age of Asha = (3x – 5) years

    Present age of Kiran = (4x – 5) years

    Sum of present ages of Asha and Kiran = 3x – 5 + 4x – 5 = (7x – 10) years

    So, 7x – 10 = 95

    Or, 7x = 95 + 10 = 105

    Or, x = (105/7) = 15

    So, difference between present ages of Asha and Kiran = 4x – 3x = x = 15 years
