A Correct answer
Explanation

Saroj's age after 5 years is 25, so her present age is 20. Given the ratio of Saroj to Sunita is 10:13, Sunita's present age is (13/10) * 20 = 26. Two years ago, Sunita was 26 - 2 = 24 years old.

AI explanation

Let the present ages of Saroj and Sunita be 10x and 13x respectively. After five years, Saroj's age will be 10x + 5 = 25, which means 10x equals 20 and x is 2. Sunita's present age is 13x, which equals 26 years. Her age two years ago was 26 minus 2, resulting in 24 years.
