10 years

45 years

25 years

20 years

Let the current age of Arman=x Years and age of Vishal = Y years
As per the question,

x + y = 70 − − − − − −(i)
5 Years ago, age of Vishal =Y-5
5 Years ago, age of Arman= x-5
As per the condition,

⇒ 2(x − 5) = (y − 5)
⇒ 2x − 10 = y − 5
⇒ 2x − y = 10 − 5 = 5
⇒ 2x − y = 5 − − − − − − − − − − − − − −(ii)

From the equation (i) and (ii)
⇒ 3x = 75

⇒ x = 25 Years

So, Years
Hence current age of Arman =25 Years.
