The ratio of Arun’s and Varun’s ages is 4:5. If the difference between the present age of Varun and the age of Arun 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the total of present ages of Arun and Varun?

Arun’s age = x
Varun’s age = y
x/y = 4/5
y – (x + 5) = 3
y – x = 8
y = 8 + x
x/8 + x = 4/5
x = 32 years
y = 40 years.
x + y = 72 years.
