    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the age of 'D' and 'E', two years ago be '7a' and '9a' years, respectively.

    So, (7a + 2 + 10) : (9a + 2 + 10) = 9 : 11

    Or, 11 × (7a + 12) = 9 × (9a + 12)

    Or, 77a + 132 = 81a + 108

    Or, 4a = 24

    So, a = 6

    Required age = 9 × 6 + 2 - 3 = 53 years
