Answer:

  • Sunitha: 35
  • Raseeda: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Both numbers of the ratio units used to express the ratio in ten years are 2 higher than at present. Thus, each ratio unit must stand for 5 years. That would make their current ages ...

  Sunitha: 7·5 = 35

  Raseeda: 8·5 = 40

_____

If you can't figure the answer right away from the change in ratio units, then you may need to write a couple of equations:

  • s/r = 7/8
  • (s+10)/(r+10) = 9/10

These can be translated to standard form, which may make some methods of solution easier:

  • 7r -8s = 0
  • 9r -10s = 10

These have solution (r, s) = (40, 35).
