Answer:
NOTE: CONSIDERING HARI AND ANUSHKA DID NOT TIME TRAVEL, WE CAN DEDUCE THEIR AGES:
Let Anushka's age be x
Then, if you read the second part of the question, you can clearly see that Hari's age is 2(Anushka's age)⇒2x.
1st part of the statement states that:
3 years ago means 3 years before, so we have to subtract both ages by 3.
Anushka's age would be = (x-3)
Hari's age would be = (2x- 3)
We can form this equation:
(2x-3) = (x-3)+5
2x-3 = x-3+5
2x-x = 3-3+5
x = 5
We know that Hari's age is 2(Anushka's age)⇒2x.
⇒2×5⇒10.
Anushka's present age is 5 and Hari's present age is 10
