A Correct answer
Explanation

Let ages be 5x and 4x. (5x + 5) / (4x + 5) = 6 / 5. 25x + 25 = 24x + 30. x = 5. Vikram's age = 5 * 5 = 25.

AI explanation

Let the present ages of Vikram and Shubham be 5x and 4x. After 5 years, the ratio becomes (5x + 5) / (4x + 5) = 6 / 5. Cross-multiplying yields 25x + 25 = 24x + 30, so x = 5. Vikram's present age is 5 times 5, which is 25 years.
