AI explanation

Ravi's present age is 7 + 3 = 10 years, making his age after 10 years equal to 20 years. Tarun's father will be twice Ravi's age in 10 years, so the father's future age is 2(20) = 40 years and his present age is 30 years. Since the father is five times as old as Tarun, Tarun's present age is 30 / 5 = 6 years. Tarun's present age is 6 years.
