Solution
Parineeta’s present age = 33 - 9 = 24 yrs.

Manisha’s present age = 24 - 9 = 15yrs

Difference between Manisha and Deepali's prresent ages = Parineeta's present age

Deepali’s present age = Parineeta's present age + Manisha's present age = 24 + 15 = 39 yrs.

Ratio of the present age of Manisha and Deepali = 15 : 39 = 5 : 13

x = 13
