Answer:

$\large\underline{\frak{\qquad Given :\qquad}} \\\\$

Ratio of Sumati's age and Sudha's age is 3:5. After 10 years the ratio of their ages becomes 2:3.

$\large\underline{\frak{\qquad To\:Find :\qquad}} \\\\$

Sudha's present age = ?

$\large\underline{\frak{\qquad Solution :\qquad}} \\\\$

$\sf Present\:Age \:\:\xrightarrow{After\:10\:Years} \:\:Future\:Age\\{\sf Sumati : Sudha \qquad \qquad\:\:\:Sumati : Sudha} \\{\qquad\sf 3 \::\:5 \qquad \qquad \qquad\qquad\:\: 2 : 3} \\\\$

Let present age of Sumati be be 3x and present age of Sudha be 5x.

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf \dfrac{Sumati's \:age + 10}{Sudha's\: age + 10} = \dfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf \dfrac{3x + 10}{5x+ 10} = \dfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\$

Cross multiplying both the sides we get :

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf 3(3x + 10) = 2(5x + 10) \\\\\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf 9x + 30 = 10x + 20 \\\\\\$

Transferring the constant to LHS and variable based expression to RHS.

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf 30 - 20 = 10x - 9x \\\\\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \underline{ \boxed{ \textsf { \textbf{x = 10 years }}}}\\\\\\$

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\large\bigstar \: \underline{\textsf{Present Age of Sudha }} \\\\$

$:\implies \textsf{ Present Age of Sudha = 5x} \\\\\\$

$:\implies \textsf{ Present Age of Sudha = 5(10)} \\\\\\$

$:\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \textsf{ Present Age of Sudha = 50 years} }}\\ \\\\$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Present age of Sudha is \textbf{50 years}}}. \\\\$
