The difference between the present age of Arun and Deepak is 14 years....
Let Deepak’s present age = (7x + 7) years
Arun’s present age = (5x + 7) years
ATQ,
7x – 5x = 14
x = 7
∴ Deepak’s present age = 49 + 7 = 56 years

If the average age og A,B and C is 22 years and the average age of B and C is 25 years, Then the age of A after 9 years
The difference between the present age of Arun and Deepak is 14 years....
To solve this problem, let's assume the present age of Arun is A and the present age of Deepak is D.
According to the given information, the difference between their ages is 14 years, so we can write the equation:
D - A = 14
Seven years ago, Arun's age would have been A-7 and Deepak's age would have been D-7. The ratio of their ages at that time was 5:7, so we can write the equation:
(A-7)/(D-7) = 5/7
Now we have a system of two equations with two variables:
D - A = 14
(A-7)/(D-7) = 5/7
We can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination method to find the values of A and D. Once we have the values, we can determine Deepak's age.
