Let the present age of Namita = x years.
Seven Years ago The Age of Namita = (x - 7) years.
Then the age of Raghav = 5(x - 7)^2
Therefore Raghav's present age = 5(x - 7)^2 + 7
= 5(x^2 + 49 - 14x) + 7
= 5x^2 + 245 - 70x + 7
= 5x^2 - 70x + 252. --------- (1)
Three Years Hence:
The age of Namita = (x + 3) years.
The age of Raghav = (5x^2 - 70x + 252) + 3
= 5x^2 - 70x + 255 years.
Given that Namita's age will be 2/5 times of Raghav's age.
x + 3 = 2/5(5x^2 - 70x + 255)
5x + 15 = 10x^2 - 140x + 510
10x^2 - 140x + 510 - 15 = 5x + 15
10x^2 - 140x + 495 = 5x + 15
10x^2 - 145x + 495 = 0
2x^2 - 29x + 99 = 0
2x^2 - 18x - 11x + 99 = 0
2x(x - 9) - 11(x - 9) = 0
(2x - 11)(x - 9) = 0
2x = 11 (or) x = 9
x = 11/2 (or) x = 9.
Since age cannot be a fraction, So x = 9.
Substitute x = 9 in (1), we get
5x^2 - 70x + 252
5(9)^2 - 70(9) + 252
405 - 630 + 252
657 - 630
= 27 years.
Therefore the present age of Namita = 9 years.
Therefore the present age of Raghav = 27 years.
The difference between their ages = 18 years.
