Detailed Solution

Given that

Age ratio of Honey  : Piyush  =2:3

Honey’s age =2x

Piyush’s age =3x

One year ago, their age was 2x,3x

Hence at present

Honey’s age =2x+1

Piyush’s age =3x+1

After 5 years

Honey’s age (2x+1)+5=2x+6

Piyush’s age (3x+1)+5=3x+6

After 5 years this ratio becomes 4:5

2x+63x+6=4510x+30=12x+242x=6x=3

Now Piyush age =3x+1

=3(3)+1

=10  years
