Five years ago, Nuri was thrice as old as Sonu. Ten years later, Nuri will be twice as old as Sonu. How old are Nuri and Sonu?

Let their present ages be x and y. Then x – 5 = 3(y – 5) and x + 10 = 2(y + 10). Simplifying yields x – 3y = -10 and x – 2y = 10. Solving gives y = 20 and x = 50 years.

  1. Let the present ages of Nuri and Sonu be x and y years respectively. Five years ago, (x – 5) = 3(y – 5), which simplifies to x – 3y = -10. Ten years later, (x + 10) = 2(y + 10), which simplifies to x – 2y = 10. Subtracting the first equation from the second eliminates x and gives y = 20. Substituting y = 20 yields x = 50. Therefore, Nuri is 50 and Sonu is 20 years old.
