Dear Student

let the present age of samyak is x
sum of present ages of children = y
five year ago, age of samyak= x –5
five year ago,sum of ages of children =y-10 since there are two children
given,
x –5= 4(y – 10)
x – 5=4y –40
x –4y= –35............(i)
also it is given that
2x=5y –13
2x –5y = –13......(ii)
solving equation i and ii
x= 41 years
y = 19 years

Hence, age of samyak will be 41 years

Thanks
