Explanation:

Here, we have to calculate: How many years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:2. Let us assume x years ago
At present: Akash is 50 years and Nilam is 40 years
x years ago: Akash age = (50 – x) and Nilam age = (40 – x)
Given, the ratio of their ages was 3:2
(50-x) / (40-x) = 3/2
Solving, we get: x = 20
Therefore, the answer is 20 years.
