The correct answer is
The age of Seema is 40
The age of Reema is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - Seema is 16 years older than Reema the ratio of their age is 5:3
To Find - The ages of Seema and Reema

Let the age of Reema is x
and the age of Seema is 16+x
The ratio is 5 : 3
So, 16+x / x = 5 / 3
or, 5x = 3x + 48

x = 24
So, the age of Reema is 24
and Seema age is 16 + x = 16 + 24 = 40
