Answer:

Sunil = 10 and Sushil= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Present ages-

Sushil= 4x

Sunil= x

5 years ago-

Sushil = 4x - 5

Sunil = x - 5

4x - 5 = 7(x - 5) = 4x - 5 = 7x - 35

                        = -5 = 3x - 35

                        = 30 = 3x

                        = 10 = x

So substitute the xs for 10-

Present Sushil= 4 x 10 = 40

Present Sunil= 10
