Answer:

60 : 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Their present ages

Ritu : Nitu = 15x : 8x

After 10 years, their ages will be in the ratio 5:3

In 10 years

15x + 10 : 8x + 10 = 5 : 3

15x + 10 / 8x + 10 = 5/3

Cross product

15x + 10 * 3 = 8x + 10 * 5

45x + 30 = 40x + 50

45x - 40x = 50 - 30

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

Ritu : Nitu = 15x : 8x

Ritu : Nitu = 15 * 4 : 8 * 4

= 60 : 32

Ritu : Nitu = 60 : 32
